Independence Day (1996)
PG-13 | 2h 25min

The aliens are coming and their goal is to invade and destroy Earth. Fighting superior technology, mankind's best weapon is the will to survive.

It's such a delight to find the Independence Day franchise available on Netflix. Even though this movie was made two decades ago, it never fails to captivate me, especially since I have a soft spot for sci-fi films. Watching it on Netflix makes the experience even more thrilling and vivid, as if I'm reliving it for the first time, although I can't quite recall when I last saw it.

With a runtime of 2 hours and 25 minutes, every second was well-spent. Will Smith's performance was undeniably enjoyable, and I couldn't help but be mesmerized by Bill Pullman's charisma and presence on screen. My fondness for Bill Pullman began when I watched him in "While You Were Sleeping," and since then, I've been enchanted by his character, his expressions, and the way he captivates with his gaze <3 <3 <3. The movie's timeless appeal and the enthralling performances of its cast make it an enduring favorite that I can watch again and again without losing any of its charm.


Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)
PG-13 | 2h

Two decades after the first Independence Day invasion, Earth is faced with a new extra-Solar threat. But will mankind's new space defenses be enough?

For sci-fi/fantasy enthusiasts like me, one movie is often not enough to satisfy our craving for captivating worlds and thrilling adventures, hehe. 

I'm delighted that they decided to make a sequel even after two decades have passed since the original. It's wonderful to see Bill Pullman once again, and while he may have aged, his presence in this movie still adds a special touch. Likewise, Jeff Goldblum, who seems to have been a staple in sci-fi movies since the 80s, brings his unique charm and charisma to the screen. Their return to the franchise adds a nostalgic and heartwarming element, making the sequel a delightful continuation of the beloved story.
