I watched this for free on TV thinking it was a comedy parody, but it turns out that it is merely a mock buster, meaning that it has a similar name and a similar plot to Independence Day. Comparing the two movies, I found that this movie had a more realistic plot, with things simply making sense. The ending wasn't quite as exciting as in Independence Day, but it was still decent, combining politics with military in the face of an alien invasion in a beautiful way. Criticising the special effects is a bit cruel, as it only had a $500,000 budget and I think it did pretty well in the circumstances. Not too bad for a movie I watched for free on TV. Definitely a B movie though but not the worst one out there.
