Independence Day | 1996 | PG-13 | - 2.7.5

VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Lots of explosions, fireballs, buildings erupting and collapsing, people screaming and running and cars flying through the air. A couple of times we see bodies flying/rolling, plane fights with a spaceship, fires and pilots screaming. A hideous-looking alien attacks a roomful of people and is shot many times.
LANGUAGE 5 - One mouthed F-word, some mild obscenities, anatomical references and scatological references.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Aliens, leadership and political decisions, the end of the world.
MESSAGE - Don't give up without a fight.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Mufasa: The Lion King - 1.4.2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - 1.3.3
The Piano Lesson - 3.5.4
Homestead - 1.5.4
