I don't care who you are or how much you hate America, you've got to love this movie.
The effects are still good, even eleven years later, the actors all pull through to do their roles to create a movie that is better than the sum of its parts. The scenes are well paced, even if the scale is a bit lost.
All of those things that make an average drama bad help to make the sci-fi good. When I want to watch a movie about aliens invading and destroying everything, thats what I want to see. The convenient coincidences, the pathetic love stories and typical characters don't' matter too much.
It seems that internationally this movie isn't very well appreciated, "the gun-ho Americans at it again" or some such talk. To that I say, whatever.
Military and government inacurracies aside, small plot holes and loose ends taken for granted, I watch movies to be entertained, Independence Day still delivers, eleven years later.
