The Original Invasion (1996)

The original Independence Day film, directed by Roland Emmerich, remains a cinematic landmark. The film follows a group of ordinary Americans who join forces to fight an alien invasion on July 4th. With its stunning special effects, heart-pounding action, and unforgettable characters, Independence Day became an instant classic.

The screenplay by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich is a masterclass in blockbuster filmmaking. The story is well-paced, with a perfect balance of action, humor, and suspense. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the dialogue is sharp and witty.

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)

Independence Day: Resurgence, directed by Roland Emmerich, is a sequel to the original film. The film follows a new generation of heroes who must fight a second alien invasion. While Resurgence didn't quite live up to the heights of the original, it still delivered plenty of thrilling action and spectacle.

The screenplay by Dean Devlin, Roland Emmerich, James Vanderbilt, and Nicolas Wright is a solid effort. The story is engaging, the action sequences are well-crafted, and the characters are likable. However, the film suffers from some uneven pacing and a lack of the original's charm.

Independence Day: Defender (2016)

Independence Day: Defender is a prequel novel to the original film. The novel, written by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, follows the events leading up to the alien invasion. Defender is a well-written and enjoyable read that provides some interesting backstory for the franchise.

Independence Day: Firestorm (2016)

Independence Day: Firestorm is a sequel novel to Independence Day: Resurgence. The novel, written by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, follows the events after the second alien invasion. Firestorm is another solid entry in the franchise, with plenty of action, suspense, and character development.
