    Independents Day Perfect B Movie ScFi Action
    All the poor reviews for this film surprised me when I first read them. I seen this movie at my local Walmart for 10 bucks.Being a huge Independence Day fan and B movie fan I grabbed it. I had 0 hopes of it being any good due to it being produced by The Asylum but it IS a great B movie. The special effects are really good and the story is quite engaging. The acting is as good as you can expect for this kind of film buy better than most I have seen. If you dig B movie ScFi flicks and love the alien invasion idea you will enjoy this movie. I gave it 5 out of ten and for a B flick that's pretty good. You won't be disappointed. I felt like the story could have been an interesting idea if the right studio had gotten it besides the Asylum but still it's probably their best produced film that I have seen. The ships and the aliens look great and the space battles are cool as heck. Very good alien B movie. Check it out.
