Independence Day

Tucson Weekly

DIRECTED BY: Roland Emmerich

REVIEWED: 07-18-96

Good guys from Earth battle bad guys from outer space in this latest incarnation of War of the Worlds. The good guys are flawed but determined; the bad guys are tentacled and covered in slime: What could be simpler? The special effects are cool, the characters are likable, and there's never a dull moment. A thoroughly fun, mindless little vacation, Independence Day is sort of like an enema: eventful, and then you feel empty.
