I remember watching Independence Day in theaters back when it first released, and it’s style of large scale destruction set the new standard for disaster movies. The story might be a tad cliche and dated now, but the characters and action remain just as much fun.
It’s hard to believe the film is hitting its 20th Anniversary, but Fox is going to make sure people are prepared for it. Today, they’ve announced a new blu-ray release of the film, and even has a great looking collector’s edition with a replica ship for people to pick up (though a regular blu-ray is also available). It will land on May 3, 2016, giving you plenty of time to re-watch before Resurgence lands in theaters.
Experience the original OSCAR®-Winning sci-fi epic that launched a new era in blockbuster filmmaking. Director Roland Emmerich, producer Dean Devlin and an all-star cast including Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman join forces to deliver the ultimate encounter between powerful aliens and the human race. When massive spaceships appear in Earth’s skies and blast destructive beams of fire down on cities all over the planet, a determined band of survivors must unite for one last strike against the invaders before it’s the end of mankind.
