Independence Day (movie)
Independence Day is a
1996 Americann science fiction movie about an attempted
alien takeover of the
earth. The movie features several scenes of major
American landmarks being destroyed by the aliens, such as the
Empire State Building and the
White House.
Whilst a commercial success, it was ridiculed by some critics for the plot (which involved causing the aliens' high-tech computers to malfunction by infecting them with a simple virus written on an
Apple Macintosh), and poor acting. Many people outside the United States (and some within) also derided the film for what was viewed as calculated pandering to excessive American nationalistic sentiment.
