Popular but plot-hole ravaged sci-fi actioner in which Bill Pullman, Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum take on evil, landmark-destroying aliens.
DVD Extras:
Theatrical and Special Editions, commentary by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, SFX commentary, original "biplane" ending, Creating Reality documentary, ID4 Invasion TV Special, HBO First Look: The Making Of ID4, trailers and TV spots, storyboards.There's tons on here, but most of it is taken from the film's gung-ho publicity - although The ID4 Invasion documentary has fun mixing interviews with an Orson Welles/War Of The Worlds-style fake news report. More interesting is the original ending, in which Randy Quaid socks it to the ETs in a biplane. But ID4's draw was the effects - with an audio commentary and featurette, homage is paid here.
