Believe it or not, there was a time where Will Smith wasn’t a superstar. Rapping his way through the 80s as The Fresh Prince and dominating the sitcom world as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, his turn in Bad Boys showed promise, but master of destruction Roland Emmerich (fresh off of Stargate) made him a veritable superstar and enemy to all space aliens with Independence Day, the quintessential 90s blockbuster.

Strap in for an unforgettable ride featuring one of the greatest presidential speeches in movie history, Randy Quaid playing a crazy guy (I know, a stretch, but he’s great here), cinema’s greatest weapon unleashed in the form of post-Jurassic Park Jeff Goldblum stealing every scene and selling even the silliest moments with unparalleled conviction, and of course, massive destruction on a global scale. Whether you’re seeing it for the first time or the 50th, Hyperreal cordially welcomes you to Earth for an all-time classic of intergalactic action the way they just don’t make ‘em anymore.
