I actually like movies like this... Independence Day is one of my fav’s....... just pure fantasy movies...
Here’s an anecdote about “Independence Day”.....
During the summer of 1996, Bob Dole took a break from his campaign schedule while visiting Los Angeles and he attended a showing of “Independence Day” at a movie theater in Hollywood with one of his campaign staffers.
When exiting the theater, a reporter asked Senator Dole what he thought of the movie. “It was a good movie,” Dole replied. “Alot of people died....”
Dole’s aid immediately quipped to the reporter, “Alot of LIBERALS!”
Hmmmm.....he must have been referring to the scenes in the movie showing the alien destruction of New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.
Read the book Earth Abides by George Stewart.
Much more believable.
