Can't wait for a sibling Rivalry for that movie

but...but..but...WILL BOOMER MAKE IT?

+ThaPepsiAddict he cost too much so they kill off his character which make me not to see it come Will Smith aren't you rich enough already it be the same without him

...Then the critic wakes up from his second dream, and he, along with the audience are left to wonder which part was really the dream... Thanks, Zack!

I come from a more distant future. And it was SH*T!

+gnarly441 You missed the joke so hard, mate.

+gnarly441 nope, i still think you missed it

+Aleks Vitolins Men in Black 2 was also pretty bad.

+Hotsex spy at least they had the decency to wipe my memory after that one.

Aleks Vitolins Men in Black 3, was much better. But, when compared to the first movie, not so much.

Boomer is the true hero in this movie

Sorry man

I had a dog called Boomer too! He lived to be eighteen! He lives on in spirit guiding my new dogs

That was a pretty low blow for the critic to suggest abandoning the dog. The guy's funny but that was the one time he pissed me off. Fuck babies, dogs forever

Just remember... BOOMER WILL LIVE.

Yeah well you could say that about the world wars as well.

sipioc Peanut butter Aids is better than the new one

I actually think the second film is better

Very true... But I am seemingly among the few people who thoroughly enjoyed the follow-up, it wasn't nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be and it had a really nice climax with the giant Queen in the desert... I thought it was worth the wait, but again I know I'm in the minority on this, LOL

To be honest,i never hated this movie, I always loved this movie, This movie and Top Gun are my favorite movies from the 80's and 90's.

*Throws hands up* AAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! XD

Omg why do I keep finding homestuck everywhere now that I'm in the fandom :P

can we have a spin off? A biopic named "Life of Boomer"?

lmao. exactly, movies are emotional maniupalation, that's how you're supposed to feel. it's an unreal dog. Slow-mo jumping right with an explosion behind him. It was fucking stupid, obviously the dog has to live in the family fuckin blockbuster. Dumb ass hollywood trope cliches are shit.

TF2 > Fortnite

Honestly, Will Smith genie isn't that bad imo. In fact, he's probably the best thing about the movie and he at least does his own thing with Genie without disrespecting Robin Williams's Genie. The only problem with the movie is actually Jafar and Laggo, but that's just me. Imo, the worst thing that Will Smith has done is Shark Tale and Suicide Squad.

He was fine when he was actually being Will Smith instead of being forced to imitate Robin Williams

@NinjaSnail1080 I agree. Will Smith put his own spin on Genie without disrespecting Robin Williams when he was Genie

To be fair, it wasn’t his fault. It was the way the character was written.

+Hidious Vanity Don't forget how the aliens also don't immediately raise an alarm or even think twice when a ship that disappeared over 50 years ago suddenly returns and starts uploading something into their system.

Water is actually very common in the universe. It exists on many planets, even Mars. And it exists in ice form on several moons in our Solar system. They would certainly know what water is. And we have discovered all elements that can exist naturally in the universe. So we aren't going to discover a new element because anything with like 130 protons would be extremely unstable and not be able to exist in the universe, let alone be the basis of life for a civilization.

I feel the aliens from signs are more stupid.

The aliens from signs are much dumber "they seem to have trouble with pantry doors"

Don't ask the aliens from Signs they couldn't tell you

I love that too.

That was also a "The Fresh Prince" reference.

That was on purpose. He had to Totally hide his charm and charisma, so his boy’s small amount could shine. That’s the epitome of acting, Will Smith as an emotion-less, charisma-less, and charm-less; terrible father, who doesn’t seem to love his wife.

Don't forget "After Earth".

I find it really weird that a lot of Sjw’s Aren’t bitching like there’s not even any wukes “correcting” us. I guess everybody’s pretty much fed up with socialism. I mean I know this is an earlier video but still. It was definitely made when Obama was still in office. So I mean even then people still get pissed off.

***** Yup! I mean Independence Day isn't bad its just "Meh!"... I think it gets a lot more hate than it deserves, lets face it the old "Aliens attack is earth Doomed" scenario is so damn old now... Its hard to bring anything original to it... But its a staple we all love too and will pay to see... I think the film failed really as it was over hyped in the marketing campaigns and promised way more than it could actually deliver. Same for Armageddon actually - LOL! Which is another film I actually kind of like even though its pure damn cheese!!!

***** Most original "Aliens Invade" movie for a long, long time was Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks!" - A very Marmite (Or Vegemite for you non UK viewers), you either love it or hate it... Me? I loved it! It was good silly fun!

genesis camilo DENIED!

Chaplin: I was almost engulfed in a fiery inferno!

Or that ET line after every major city has been destroyed.

Because any intelligent life that looks at humanity for all of 10 seconds would realize they only have two options. 1) Destroy it all. Leave no survivors. 2) Let humans continually get stronger and stronger. Some day, they will find you. And they may try to ally themselves with you. They may become your best friends and trade with you and help you prosper. But one day, some human will decide they hate the humans that allied with you, and will betray the rest of the human species and destroy everything. You will eventually be undone by the human race. It can never be trusted. It's basically the answer to Fermi's paradox. Where are the aliens? Inevitably, any life that can develop to be as advanced as the space age will also develop to be advanced enough to successfully commit suicide and the probability of them accidentally committing complete and total suicide approaches 100% the more advanced that civilization becomes. However, instead of sending an alien invasion force, they would much more likely just redirect an asteroid. BOOM, virtually all life on Earth ended. In fact, if you thought it was silly for a highly intelligent species to accidentally annihilate itself completely, you're likely forgetting precisely this. With nukes, it'd take scarce resources, there are defenses that can work against it. With an asteroid, the "defense" becomes exponentially more expensive than the attack as time to impact decreases, and it only requires one spaceship with some fuel, which would be a very common occurrence to any commonly space-faring race. In reality, the most realistic alien scenario would be the human race expands to encapsulate the entire solar system. Most life remains on earth, but we have drones throughout the system and can even detect most incoming objects from lightyears away. Well, one day we detect an asteroid moving at nearly the speed of light a few years away. It's course? A direct collision with Earth. There is, unfortunately, nothing that can be done to save the planet. All of humanity must evacuate. We launch a heroic attempt to get as many humans as we can off the planet before BOOM, the entire thing is obliterated. Now, humans are stranded in space... and want revenge. We achieve this, not by fighting aliens directly, no no no. We expand our sensors, locate the alien homeworld, and before we can begin flinging rocks at them, we realize... they already evacuated. And since destroying our homeworld didn't snuff us out, they sent their military fleet to destroy us. And it's arriving in a few years time. So finally, we prepare our fleet to take out the aliens in our solar system and then launch an expeditionary fleet to take out the aliens in their own home system. But they, like a plague, have already expanded to much of the galaxy. And so, the human race and the alien race chase each-other around the galaxy, obliterating each-other everywhere they go, and any time one tries to settle on a planet, the other turns the planet into a magma filled wasteland by hurling an asteroid at near light-speed at it. The distances of the galaxy as so large, however, that many expeditions exchange countless generations of new humans before they eventually arrive. Many of the myths and legends from Earth are forgotten. But one story always remains clear. Aliens destroyed our homeworld. They. Must. Pay.

What makes you think billions of miles would necessarily be a long trip for a civilization that can travel this distance?

+Farfaramir I have to admit this film is a guilty pleasure... It uses EVERY SINGLE GOD DAMN HOLLYWOOD STEREOTYPE AND CLICHE IN THE BLOODY BOOK but it is mildly enjoyable on a rainy afternoon... With all the hype it got I expected much more, but it is OK... Not the worst by any means (*Coughs* after *Coughs* Earth)

Warren Marris cough Jaden Smith sucks cough lol.

he reviewed Godzilla. which I think is an Emmerich film and I was sure he'd reviewed day after tomorrow but I might be mistaken

+Farfaramir Yeah i liked this movie too >.

+Warren “Phoenix” Marris WELCOME TO EARTH!!!

The Movie was the brainchild and directed by Roland Emmerich though. One of "ours" here in Germany... So it's not quite like the Michael Bay Addiction to waving overly large Stars and Stripes flags in the background even during a "Transformers" movie...

@mateo nieto Actually its just American-made movies that are USA centric (which is normal for any movie of any country to focus on its own people the most). But if you want to see world disaster movies in as much if not more prevalence look to Japan. For heaven's sake a lot of fans of Japanese movies (both animated and live action) call Tokyo "the match-stick city" cause it seems every single alien invasion, portal to hell, giant monster, etc. shows up in or comes out of Tokyo. And they did it first. Remember who was making all the Godzilla movies for half of the last century. Giant monsters attacking the world, and all of it from Japan. And again, they did this with a lot of different types of disaster movies. I say if you want a change of pace from USA-centric disaster movies watch some Japanese ones. A lot of them are quite good, and the rest are at least entertaining.

To the first part of the post. Yeah. I love this film. To the second part. You got your sequel. Be careful what you wish for.

You were a very idealistic young person in your time 7 years ago, my friend... I'll give you that.

Ian Greene Only 2 of those fill in what he was pointing out

Mmmmm gotta take issue with number 3. Like yeah, if they said they wouldn't take him because his fiancee was a stripper, maybe he could sue? (Though can you really sue someone for not hiring you as opposed to firing you?) But I doubt they would actually say that was their reasoning, they'd just come up with something else. I mean, this kind of shit happens all the time with racial profiling. Companies never say what the real reason is

Three real questions: did the filmmakers intend any of this? Are we filling in blanks they never bothered to fill? Or if they did intend to imply this, could they have somehow explained it better?

@@Fluffkitscripts Honestly, those were all pretty clear to me watching the movie, so I'd have to say that they were intended

Bryan Shouse if I had to choose a favorite, it would be Day After Tomorrow. Bad science, but I got a soft spot for disaster films. The acting and story wasn't half bad either.

+Travis Linton How can you hate Stargate with such an amazing theme song? Seriously though, I've always lumped Independence Day, The Patriot, and Stargate together as the token Emmerich 90's guilty pleasures of mine.
