ID4 kicks ass. One of the best expereiences I ever had in a theater. It was a big budget version of “V” with some of my favorite actors at the time – still do love me some Goldblum.

SFX were great, it was exciting and I love Alien invasion movies that are “realisitic.” Love the bit where the dog barely escapes the explosion.

Sure it’s full of holes, but most sci-fi films have pretty big holes if you think about it and this was supposed to be a tad on the campy side anyway.

I also like “The Core” – not Emmerich, just saying.
Day After Tomorrow = shite.

I didn’t mind ID4, but I chose Stargate which I liked. I hated The Patriot even there were a few things I liked like the frenchman and people getting owned by cannonballs.

Kurt, I never thought of Apocalyto as trash, but as long as you love the movie, as I do, then it’s all good.

I picked “The Patriot” as well.

“Stargate” had a great idea, but awfully executed.

Stargate was ok But the shows are grabage. ID4 Kicks ass! I don’t know why it gets so much hate now. Because when it came out everyone loved it.

Kurt doesn’t like trash that is popular. Unpopular trash gets a pass.

I picked The Patriot. Best subject matter. ID4 fucking rules though, and Stargate is great as well, especially the first 30 minutes.

I didn’t think I’d would ever be more dissapointed in a film than when I first saw Independence Day. UGH! Then I saw Phantom Menace and I knew what true suffering was.

My fav is Stargate.
