Dinosaurs, monsters that never existed, a stuttering coward Sir Henry, a womanizing pool sharp Captain Good and video so dark and blurred it hard to see anything. The best thing about the movie was it's ending, no, not how it ended but that the torturous movie finally ended.

I didn't want to give it a one star but that was the lowest I could go.

So much stock footage from Stewart Granger's "King Solomon's Mine" minds makes me wonder how much new footage there actually was. I spotted Stuart Granger and others from his movie more than once while watching the film. Overall it is a relatively somewhat decent African adventure film and easy to make fun of because of the overuse of stock footage. I don't know what MGM was thinking when they approved this movie but they should be embarrassed over it.

Bad story line and even worse acting but as with every Asylum Film I've watch I get that satisfaction I always get with a good "B" movie. As I have often said "You can't set out to deliberately make a great "B" flicker, not only are "B" movies bad but they are great bad movies to boot. Yet somehow Asylum Films manages to constantly crank them out. Independents' Day is no exception, the story gets a bit confusing with a President trying to broker a cease fire, an underling with a secret agenda, outlawed militias and would governments turning against the United States. As with most disaster flicks the military is completely ineffective, the outlawed militia is portrayed as a bunch over the top wackos and the President heroically takes on the aliens (spoiler alert) herself. Not a great movie but good enough for me to watch again to see what I may have missed the first time.
