Storyline: My favorite movie in the aliens-invade-earth genre, this box office topper of '96 pits fighter pilot Will Smith, Cable TV repairman Jeff Goldblum and U.S. President played by Bill Pullman against a race of marauding aliens bent on world domination and the destruction of the human race. Brought to you by the director of another alien genre movie "Stargate", it uses a lot of CGI special effects. My best parts are the battles between US Air Force's F-16 fighters and the aliens' combat craft. Won Academy Awards for Best Special Effects.
