This film had a great deal of promise. All until good ol' Will Smith uttered the overly patriotic and self-ingesting line 'welcome to Earth'. I couldn't cringe any harder and to be honest my interest wained a great deal after this script oversight. It is entertaining, it's more of a 'leave your brain at the doorstep' kind of title.

An amazing and explosive adventure in which Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and the rest of mankind defend the planet against an invading army of intergalactic aliens bent on draining the Earth of all its resources. A must see 5* popcorn epic.

Yeah this is cheesy now but seeing this in the cinema in 1996 was a revelation. Tale a look at what was out then. This took cgi to the next level. I'm really looking forward to the sequel can't wait.....
