This sci-fi extravaganza from the master of disaster Roland Emmerich has everything you could possibly want from a spectacular summer blockbuster: slick special effects, explosive action sequences, romantic subplots, an adorable child-and Will Smith. Aliens have arrived on earth, and, shockingly enough, they do not come in peace. Following the invasion, a disparate group of intrepid survivors- including a washed-up MIT graduate, the President, a local nutcase, an Air Force captain and an exotic dancer-band together to launch a counterattack that proves superior technology is simply no match for good ol’ American ingenuity.
