Independence Day (1996)

I have to admit, I only half-watched this... but this was a really easy movie to only half-watch. Nothing of true significance really happened in most of it, and whenever it did, it drew a whole lot of attention to it. Will Smith's character was fun (I especially liked the scene where he is crankily dragging the alien through the desert) but I could have happily done without Jeff Goldblum's conspiracy theory romance sideplot. In the end, there's really no reason I'd watch this again, but it was fine. 2 stars.
