I’m first! What do I win??

[@williamsmith5340]

I like your videos

Always love your reactions, hope you have a great 4th!

It made $880 million dollars at the box office against a $75 million dollar budget. It won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. I saw this film with my brother and sister and it blew me away! I enjoyed this movie and forgot how fun it really is!

[@AdamtheGrey02]

I'd probably double that 75 million to include advertising because back then I remember the trailers everywhere on TV.

[@Rhodair]

@@AdamtheGrey02 aye, great point - most big budget movies are typically double its filming cost for the marketing

[@aviator2252]

it only traumatized me for the first 15 years of my life lol

[@creamcitysista1970]

Shame the sequel sucked.

[@TheDeadStretch]

"We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!" That deliverance gives me goosebumps every time.

[@stanleysmith2221]

Thanks!

[@singingwordwright148]

The existence of Area 51 wasn't confirmed officially until just a few years ago. At the time this movie was made, they had the military all lined up for help with filming, but the DoD wanted them to omit the references to Area 51 (even though just about everyone already believed it to be a real thing by then) and the producers refused, so the military pulled out of the deal.

[@VeerleTakino]

In 1994 there was a lawsuit by some workers from area 51 over exposure to toxic chemicals, resulting in an executive order exempting the base from environmental disclosure laws in order to stop the lawsuit from being able to go forward, which was the only acknowledgement that something unusual was going on out there until 2013, when he CIA acknowledged area 51's existence in an official history of the development of the U-2 spy plane.

[@jjc5871]

The speech by the President gives me chills every time I hear it. By far the best speech I’ve ever heard in any movie.

[@jrobertlysaght]

One note. When this movie came out, we just went through a bunch of movies and shows, from ET to V the visitors, where either aliens were good/misunderstood, or they played nice and fooled us, then tried to take over. I remember this movie really surprising us with them just showing up and attacking, no contact, no false negotiations, just boom!

[@amitychief3061]

What often goes unnoticed is all of the homages made to sci-fi of the past. The "Good Morning Dave" from 2001, the nuclear blast aftermath from the original "War of the Worlds" and that last scene of the guys walking out of the desert is right out of the ending of "The Right Stuff". Those little added things took it to an even higher level for me.

[@lionlyons]

It's muted, but at 39:24 you hear Goldblum ad-lib "Faster. Must go faster." This was a nod to _Jurassic Park_ in which Goldblum says the exact same line.

[@blendezfamily8727]

This is a great video, but my favorite part is when she says, “Why is my ringer on??” 🤣🤣🤣

[@FuzzyLogic77]

That audio distortion you add really did a number on Harvey Fierstein's voice. Had me go between being creeped out and laughing so hard 😂

[@carlbaker7242]

My dear you just made me more proud to be a American. I also truly enjoyed your reactions to the movie. I love the different views of characters.

[@alfreddaniel1994]

I pledge allegence to Californiablend and her united sexiness of America.

[@mr_m4613]

Salute!!!

[@mariotovar951]

Easy there lol 😂

[@musicloverchiefsfan5410]

Excellent reaction! It was obvious how much you enjoyed this! Your enjoyment was very contagious!

[@tracyoliver6648]

Your jump scares was my favorite part of this reaction.

[@Dandroid5000]

To be honest, at this point I'm just tuning in to see how you've styled your hair girl........never fails to impress!

[@waterbeauty85]

Among the deleted scenes are scenes that show Russell Casse being rejected from flying a fighter jet because he's drunk, and when they run out of missiles, he shows up in his crop duster biplane with a missile strapped to it already knowing that he'll have to ram the alien weapon to stop it. Fortunately, the filmmakers realized that it looked laughably silly to have the biplane keeping pace with the F-18s that were "plowing the road" ahead of him. Also the final version had that added emotional impact of seeing Russell make the decision to sacrifice himself as he looks at the photo of his children. You always look beautiful, but you look spectacular in today's dress.

[@gerardoreyes602]

YESSSSS 👏👏👏 great reaction and love your channel. Now on to Independence day; Resurgence. 👍👍👍😏😏😏👏👏👏

[@Californiablend]

Thank you!

[@SFranc]

Stay consistent, stay steady, this channel will grow. This is my favorite audit. Great job. “Our little environmentalist” 😂

[@Californiablend]

Thanks for watching!

[@Maarten_Bondzio]

Wow, the distortion really added a new dimension to this movie!😉 Apart from that, great reaction! Love to you!

[@gerardoreyes602]

Lol that jump scare when they opened suit. 🤣 👏👏👏😏😏😏

[@hanklutcavich2468]

Love watching movies with you. Awesome reaction!!

[@Californiablend]

Thank you!

[@creamcitysista1970]

36:42 “Nobody’s perfect.” Classic line that ends “Some Like it Hot”.

[@gartrellliddell3806]

David smoked his cigar for real, Will Smith just would light his without never puffing..

[@joshhubbard-yg1tv]

OMG! When you said "Get to the CHOPPA!" Made me laugh SO hard!! 😂 plus your dress is fantastic and your hair is looks flawless.

[@mr_m4613]

I know right, her personality is awesome.

[@Californiablend]

Thank you!

[@joshhubbard-yg1tv]

@@mr_m4613 yes. She IS Awesome. I love watching her reaction videos.

You are one of the best reactors on KZbin. You are intelligent and you have a joyful energy.

[@oliverconway6960]

"Stop side-seat driving!" Cracks me up every time.

[@rachelhughes8487]

This is one of my favorite films. My family named our first yellow lab Boomer, after the dog in this movie. I'm so glad I just found your channel, I am LOVING your reactions so far!!

[@ashleyspurling5701]

That's awesome

[@christophercurtis4131]

This movie has a special place in my heart as it was the first movie I saw in theaters after graduating from the Navy's Basic Training in June of 96. I was 25 years old at the time. Such an amazing movie and I loved the characters.

[@MsCandyKush_YT]

Oh I'm crying right now, more reactions to my favorite movie of all time!

[@creamcitysista1970]

25:15…”I’m Finnish!” Gee, I thought you were GORGEOUS!!!!😂

They didnt think the Prez was too old, they thought he was too young.

Jimmy (Will's pilot friend who dies) is singer Harry Connick Jr.

I met his dad, Harry Connick, Sr., a former DA for the city of New Orleans.

[@Rhodair]

28:09 🤣 that split second moment my brain thinks Groot arrived to save humanity

[@quisimixtv]

She looks so adorable in that American flag dress😊😊😊

[@jswatch9270]

I know right

[@postmastersgt1670]

One of my favorite films of alltime Top 3 no doubt. I am indeed a believer of alien life out there somewhere in the universe and i do believe they have been visiting our planet for thousands of years now whether they are benevolent or malevolent is anyones guess. But either way if they have the ability to travel to our planet at will and we cant even go past our moon if they were hostile there is absolutely nothing we could do to stop them. We would be completely helpless. That's scary to even think about it.

[@kingunda5013]

You just keep getting prettier every video I watch on your channel. 😍

[@ICGvids]

What a fantastic reaction! Happy Independence Day!

[@lawrenceholohan8812]

The way she’s looking right now in that shirt she got my flag up saluting :-)

[@melody9241]

Will knew she was there cause at the beginning when he had to go to base case of the ships, Will aka Steve told her to pack some stuff for her and her son and to stay at the base.

[@beachem1]

Can we all just take a moment and take notice of how stunningly gorgeous she is in that flag dress? Dayum! I was barely able to finish enjoying her movie reaction 😘

[@LandSharkEatsU]

I thought it was just me. She is cute AF.

[@richthesith006]

This was a great review thanks for the laughs. Happy 4th 🇺🇸🎆🎇

[@DaniMew]

No matter how many times I've seen this movie I always cry when Russel sacrifices himself. Love this movie

[@maxmundo96]

FANTASTIC reaction!!! Plus a really LOVELY setup, you, the background and your outfit!!👍👍👍👍👍💖

[@mr_m4613]

Californiablends beauty and personality is amazing. We need more women like her in this lifetime.

[@vonkroenen]

This was such a big movie back in the day, I remember everyone in school talking about it. The huge lines at the movie theater to go see it. It’s one of my favorites. Fun fact, that beautiful white sand lake is actually pretty stinky because it has hundreds of dead shrimp, so when Will Smith complaints about the smell, that line was not in the script, he really was annoyed about the horrendous smells coming from the place.

[@JamesASharp]

The theatrical version is the best version of this classic film. But anyway, great reaction! 👍🏿

[@paulobrien9572]

This movie is a modern update of another movie based on the H G Wells book the War of the Worlds in which martians invade earth and are defeated by a biological virus rather than a computer virus. This movie also references classic movies such as 2001 Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the third kind and ET

[@SomeGuy-cw9rw]

Girl, you are silly mimicking that man. LOL. "I told y'all. I told y'all. Didn't I tell y'all."

[@nowthatisawesome5431]

I loooove how much you appreciate and love this movie! 🤗🥰 It’s so iconic! The President’s speech is pure perfection. 🇺🇸🥰

[@nowthatisawesome5431]

@sexymonkey696 The patriotism is part of what makes it so good. Sorry you feel otherwise.

[@anthonyanderson9303]

@sexymonkey696 That was purposefully done tho. The name of the film is Independence Day for goodness sake lol

[@melvindavis7508]

Your amazing at movie reactions I have movies I’ve been watching for years that I love & I don’t see them the way you do. I never paid attention to direction & editing until the last 2 years. Keep up the great work.

[@Californiablend]

Thank you!

[@kaycosti3631]

That was a great reaction, thank you! My most heartfelt thoughts and wishes to all American brothers and sisters were disturbed only by what that lunatic did at the parade - sincere condolences to the families who lost their loved ones in that madness. From a Romanian brother, huge respect and admiration to all American true patriots.

[@unintelligentlifeform7180]

As a kid...I loved this film. And I had a huge crush on ms. Fox! Such a beautiful woman lol.

[@JesseJ.Speigner]

Looking very put together in this reaction

[@noni5961]

You are so funny. 😂😂😂. Great reaction.

[@chrisjs511007]

You my dear are a joy to watch react! Feels good to see someone watch this sensational movie for the first time! Really loved all your thoughts on the movie after watching it also, 100% agreed on everything you said!

[@Californiablend]

Thanks for watching!

[@melissam9656]

Been watching this movie since '96 😉 have it on DVD and watch it on the regular. LOVED your comment about "the radius of the explosion" 😂 my fave part is when the alien speaks thru the scientist - " peace? no peace" and "diiiiiiiie" ❤

[@christopherking4932]

Awesome reaction. Love this movie so much ❤

[@Californiablend]

Thanks for watching!

[@SixballQ45]

That "white desert" is the Great Salt Flats in Utah - notice theres NO dust behind the RV caravan? its salt = no dust if you look at the parachute Will Smith drags the alien in, you'll see the salt on it from being dragged too..

[@rustyshackleford3862]

You'd think he would want to live closer to base. El Toro is 50 mi from the LA city center.

[@randyobrien2836]

Love your reaction, and I love your dress.

[@DP-hy4vh]

Area-51 became well known in the 1990s thanks to shows like Unsolved Mysteries, The X-Files and Seven Days and a late night radio show called Coast to Coast AM that was hosted by the late Art Bell.

[@hettbeans]

Julius Levinson is the best character in this movie. Imagine the anti-maskers dealing with being told not to go hang out under the giant alien spacecraft's primary weapon.

[@shawnwacek6791]

Welcome to The greatest story I've ever watched in my entire life that was based on aliens invasion type of movie all the characters written to the movie perfectly the guy sacrificing himself to save the world perfectly done I'm glad you enjoyed the movie all the practical effects or models alien ships in buildings no CGi in this movie except for certain parts lasers and stuff like that The president's speech freaking phenomenal greatest speech I ever heard in a movie of all time since this movie I watched it when I was 13 years old randomly on a movie channel the speech should speak volumes to what we need to hear right now in the world

[@michaelholt3222]

Top notch again!! Excellent reaction, and entertaining, humor, wit, and and profoundly thoughtful, your my absolute favorite, thanks again for a great reaction, your the best!!..😁😁👍👍

[@Californiablend]

Thank you so much!!

[@williamwoods5592]

I really love this movie for real. The very first time I saw this movie was at the movie theaters with my Mom, my Dad and my Grandmother when I was only 19 years old.

I remember seeing this in the movie theater. My dad was so excited to take me and my mom thought I was 2 young. I was 10 at the time. It was awesome

[@carlosgarza9182]

Wow beautiful as always keep doing a great job

[@Californiablend]

Thank you!

[@eddieanderson9399]

The scientist with glasses and long hair at Area 51 is actually Data from Ster Trek. I had no idea until someone pointed that out to me. Crazy.

[@Andy2481]

I watched this movie 3 times at the cinema back in the day. First time I watched it with a friend we were cheering and everything. Huge hit back in the day and still holds up well today.

[@jswatch9270]

Fact: before appearing as the dad of Jeff Goldblum's character in this movie Judd Hirsch was in the tv series of taxi and I recommend you to check it out.

[@personofinterest3682]

I love the perspective of youth! You thought the concern about the President's age were because he was too OLD? 🤣 Great reaction as usual. I know that you're being sarcastic some of the time, but it's hard to tell when.

[@Sd-cl6of]

Someone needs to hire you as a film critic!. And I can tel you, it was a massive hit, back in 96. So glad you enjoyed it!. As much as I did your reaction/review. :)

You look like you could be in The Supremes with Diana Ross with that hair. Nice.

[@САШКАСЕРАГОВ-ч4ш]

1. This is already a classic - if there is no dog, the wedding will not take place. 2. It's a classic - one Jew or one black will be smarter than a whole crowd of Anglo-Saxons, even if that crowd consists of the president, high-ranking military and representatives of the intelligence community. But there is no need to be surprised - after all, it was the Jews and blacks who made the USA a great country, while the Anglo-Saxons appropriated the fruits of their labors and did not create anything useful themselves. 3. This one is already dreaming of how to take away their super-gun from the aliens and use it against the African aborigines, who have a lot of oil, but no democracy and gay pride parades... 4. Someone should definitely say "what the crap..." 5. He worked so hard... hoping that the boss would pat him on the shoulder in the morning...

[@johnspringer6003]

You're great at this. Very enjoyable and entertaining to watch and very lovely also.

[@Californiablend]

Thank you!

[@carlosrvra]

Like others have said, this movie destroyed at the box office. It was amazing! Plus, it came out Independence Day weekend back in `96, so it gave you that "this is happening RIGHT NOW" feel. The sequel... was not as good :D. May be a good "bad" movie to react to. Also, BATTLE: LOS ANGELES, which portrays an alien invasion ground war, goes VERY well with this movie, and I think of THAT as an unofficial sequel.

[@Donkeypunch182]

I remember being 7 and the first time i saw the fox promo where they made it seem like a actual news broadcast made me freak out!!!

[@pleutron]

different looking aliens... but District 9

[@jjc5871]

Battle Los Angeles is amazing. Definitely one of my favorite movies.

"What the Hell is that smell?!" It's actually the way the Bonneville Salt flats smell because of its proximity the the Great Salt Lake (all the dead brine shrimp).

[@creamcitysista1970]

Only thing I know about the Bonneville Salt Flats is where land speed records usually go to die.

Having watched many of your reactions past, I have to call this out as your most animated reaction. It really hit you this one, I can tell. My reaction, immediately after seeing this film in 1996, was to buy another ticket. I wonder, did you watch it again?

[@Californiablend]

Thank you! I haven’t watched it yet again, but soon 😆

How many people does the President think are even watching the TV?

[@jimdetry9420]

A lot of people reacted to this movie today. You had the best edit and the best reaction of any I've seen. You deserve many more subscribers. Also, ID4 is one of my favorite movies and Vivica Fox is totally hot.
