The Resurgence of Sci-Fi Blockbusters: Exploring the Impact of Independence Day

The Resurgence of Sci-Fi Blockbusters: Exploring the Impact of Independence Day

Imajica Entertainment: Movie Night Experience – ID4 Independence Day

The Impact and Significance of "Independence Day" in Hollywood Blockbusters

"Independence Day", also known as "ID4", is a 1996 American science fiction action film directed by Roland Emmerich and written by Emmerich and Dean Devlin. This movie marked a significant turning point in the history of Hollywood blockbusters, as it played a pivotal role in the resurgence of large-scale disaster films and sci-fi genres in the mid-late 1990s.

The film follows the story of disparate groups of people who converge in the Nevada desert after a worldwide attack by a powerful extraterrestrial race. With the rest of the world, they unite to launch a counterattack on July 4—Independence Day in the United States. This thrilling plot captivated audiences and offered a fresh take on the alien invasion narrative.

One of the notable aspects of "Independence Day" is its ensemble cast, which includes renowned actors such as Will Smith, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Mary McDonnell, Judd Hirsch, Margaret Colin, Randy Quaid, Robert Loggia, James Rebhorn, and Harvey Fierstein. Their compelling performances added depth and emotional resonance to the film, making it more than just a sci-fi action spectacle.

Upon its release, "Independence Day" received mixed reviews from critics. While the performances, musical score, and visual effects were praised, some critics had reservations about the characterization. However, the film's impact on the audience was undeniable, and its box office success reflected this sentiment.

Grossing over $817.4 million worldwide, "Independence Day" became the highest-grossing film of 1996 and the second-highest-grossing film ever at the time, only behind "Jurassic Park" (1993). This phenomenal success showcased the audience's appetite for thrilling and visually stunning blockbusters that offered a communal movie experience.

Furthermore, "Independence Day" paved the way for a new wave of disaster films and sci-fi movies in the 1990s. Its influence can be seen in subsequent films that explored similar themes of global catastrophe and humanity's resilience in the face of otherworldly threats. The success of "Independence Day" signaled a return to the grand scale and spectacle of Hollywood blockbusters, captivating audiences with thrilling narratives and groundbreaking visual effects.

Twenty years later, the film's legacy continued with the release of its sequel, "Independence Day: Resurgence" in 2016. This long-awaited follow-up aimed to expand the universe and further explore the consequences of the initial alien invasion. While the reception to the sequel was more mixed compared to its predecessor, it cannot diminish the lasting impact and significance of the original "Independence Day" film.

In conclusion, "Independence Day" left an indelible mark on the history of Hollywood blockbusters. Its contribution to the revival of disaster films and sci-fi genres in the 1990s cannot be overstated. With its thrilling plot, talented ensemble cast, impressive box office success, and influence on subsequent films, "Independence Day" continues to be recognized as a defining film in the world of blockbuster cinema.

Stonewall (2015)

I went into Stonewall knowing it would be bad. I wanted to know whether it might be entertaining anyway. It sort of is, but for all the wrong reasons.

Based on true events, the story begins in 1969, New York, three months before the Stonewall riots that kicked off the gay liberation movement. Danny Winters (Jeremy Irvine) is a young gay man fleeing his narrow-minded parents. Frightened and confused in the big city all alone, he tries his best to make a living while befriending a group of mismatched gay youths and drag queens.

Stonewall follows a gay protagonist but as a portrayal of a pivotal moment in LGBT history, it couldn’t be more wrong. You’ve got a few black characters here and there, but for the most part, we’re following a straight-looking white character that's a total fabrication. Did people of color, drag queens, butch lesbians, and/or trans women play any part in the Stonewall riots? Not according to this movie. I understand the need to tie all of the historical events together so they flow smoothly into a single narrative but this was still not the way to do it. Stonewall baffles the mind. Roland Emmerich specializes in big special effects-driven films like 2012, Independence Day, and The Day After Tomorrow - the opposite of films like this one. Did someone assign this project to him solely because he's gay?

Setting aside any qualms you may have about representation or accuracy, Stonewall still isn’t good. Gay or not, audiences can understand what it’s like to be a teenager trying to find their life in the world, but this overabundance of clichés will bore everyone. The film's dramatic elements are extremely predictable; merely a checklist of bad things that could happen until the historical event which promises that “Hey, everything’s going to be alright in the end”. Not helping are the characters, who are not likable. The people Danny befriends are thieves, nasty to each other, or forever tangled in petty drama. So what if they're victimized minorities? That only goes so far.

Stonewall is a confused picture. It implies that a certain police officer who leads raids on the Stonewall Inn has no prejudice against gays. Over and over, he seems sympathetic towards the people he arrests, caring only about the mob ties behind the scenes - unlike other officers who deliberately harass the LGBT community. Then, the pre-credit sequence proceeds to demonize him and exonerates Ed Murphy (Ron Perlman), the violent, self-hating man who's spent the entire film exploiting homosexuals! What’s going on here?!

This feels like a film made by a team who is trying to save face. It’s a sloppy picture that seems unconcerned about the issues at the heart of the Stonewall riot but both Roland Emmerich and writer Jon Robin Baitz are gay! It's so consistently wrong it perfectly embodies the saying that "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions".

Stonewall is not engaging. I doubt anyone would feel like they learned anything about the gay movement of the '60s after seeing it. The picture fails on all fronts, which makes it fascinating. I don’t know if it's documentary-worthy but I'm dying to know what happened behind the scenes. It tries so hard to be dramatic it becomes uncomfortable, which prevents it from ever becoming "So bad It's Good" but I was somewhat mesmerized by what is undoubtedly the most misguided movie I’ve seen in the last decade. (On DVD, September 9, 2016)

A WOKE! Film Review As Awards Season Begins...       by Lucas Avram Cavazos

Midway ###-1/2

Roland Emmerich is the mind behind the helming of huge blockbusters Stargate in 1994 and Independence Day a couple of years later. These flicks created stars and launched careers, but Emmerich went on to continue creating mega-movies that required big budgets, special effects and often (for this critic and viewer) way too much suspension of disbelief…e.g., Universal Soldier, his disaster flicks like Day After Tomorrow and 2012, Godzilla, the heinous Stonewall violation and yes, even the Independence Day sequel from three years ago.  I would also note that he is one of only two big budget directors who is gay and can still draw your atypical, straight male, aged 18-49 audience to his flicks. The other man would be Bryan Singer but as he is a paedophile piece of shit whose actions ruined the joy that was The X-Men and savagely drivelled out his take on Freddie Mercury, only to then be removed as director, we’ll not speak of his nasty, botoxed-ass face.

My grandfather on my mother’s side was one of the only (if not the only) Mexican-American naval admirals during the WWII era, so watching this film really kept putting a lot of my mother’s yapping over the years into focus and later became a notice of something awry, but we shall speak of that later. This autumn’s big (and a tad desperate attempt) at wooing Oscar falls a bit right of the middle, (almost) like a poor man’s version of a Dunkirk endeavour, though it’s fair to say that Emmerich and Christopher Nolan are very different directors.

Starting briefly in 1937 with an also quick meeting between Japanese Marshal Admiral Yamamoto and US intelligence officer, and a lead character in the film, Edwin Layton (never-ageing Patrick Wilson) where Yamamoto tells him that the Japanese will do whatever necessary if their oil supplies are in any way jeopardised. Fast forward four years, the world is at war, and what starts off as a film with way too many sappy one-liners that are ultra-cringeworthy soon turns into a visual tour de force that is incredible as much as it is laborious.

For certain, while Emmerich and film rookie writer Wes Tooke pull out all the wannabe-an-epic stops with a semi-lock on military vernacular and shoddy banter, they also do a decent job of covering the Pearl Harbor drama that securely put the US into World War II, and they end up nailing it with a lot of historical accuracies. From documenting the Doolittle Raids (Jimmy Doolittle is played here by a where’s-he-been Aaron Eckhart) to US cryptographers breaking some of the Japanese codes to highlighting the inefficiency of US weapons and their ridiculous uses, even bringing in cinema director John Ford and his presence during a Japanese raid that made its way into one of his movies, they accurately get a show-in of facts as the plot plods along. What does not seem to make its way into the film is a sense of realness expressed by the myriad of stereotypes employed here from the goofy Italiano-type guys to the smarmy Southerner to the golly shucks whitey fords, it seems that every 40s, male, US-American film role was taken up by someone except that there was not a single, solid scene that had any African or Native or Latin-American or Asian-American person in the mix here at all, despite the fact that millions of them, as well as, more than half a million Jews and Arabs and Armenians and so many more served hand-in-hand with the nearly 16 million men and women who comprised some part of the armed services during the WWII years. As a tutor and student of history, I take issue with that, and I also wonder if Emmerich had actually been from the US, would he have paid a tad more attention to that? I’d like to think so, but sincerely doubt it at the same time...Yet I digress.

It seems to me that the glory of Midway lies in its impeccable action sequences which engage the audience so vividly that it is virtually impossible not to stay glued to the intensity being displayed so spectacularly before you, but then that is exactly the stuff that big war movies are made of. Well…that and a huge lineup of stars to draw different audiences from all over the entertainment spectrum. To note, and in addition to anyone named above, we also have Woody Harrelson, Luke Evans, the odd-looking Ed Skrein, Darren Criss, Mandy Moore, Dennis Quaid, and even Nickalicious Jonas, playing the role of an ill-fated pilot. I kept seeing a new actor every ten minutes and thinking, ‘Oh shit, is that so-and-so?’…and it was so-and so!

Now while I would likely be safe to predict that there may be a nomination thrown in for some of the effects sequences perhaps, this mediocre war film is not likely to pick up any major love come awards season soon, but what it does do in its own way is completely highlight all the chaos of the attacks over three crucial days in US and Japanese history. The battle moments fought over a blazingly clear and sunlit sky serves to add credence to the heroic and insane nature of the US and Japanese pilots, but what it also does is introduce just how vital passing through this evil war was in relevance to what would turn out to be this modern age.
