If it is of unknown origin, how do we know it is extraterrestrial? Couldn't it be subterranean? marine? etc--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 00:28, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The title dispute described in the article doesn't compute. You can neither copyright nor trademark a title, least of all a title that is the name of a holiday. Only in cases where a person could reasonably be misled, by using the specific title of a known franchise or a movie coming out at the same time, could there be any real dispute. Warner Bros could have said or done nothing, no matter what Fox chose to do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.186.125 (talk) 05:55, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Should Independence Daysaster be mentioned? It might not be an "official" sequel but it is clearly referential.--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 00:36, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

According to the article the film got "mixed reviews", but then in the "Reception" part it says:
"Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 68% of 81 surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating is 6.6/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "The plot is thin and so is character development, but as a thrilling, spectacle-filled summer movie, Independence Day delivers." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 59 out of 100 based on 19 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews"."
Isn't a 68% rating on Rotten Tomatoes quite high? Too high to say it got only "mixed" reviews? Dornwald (talk) 17:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Edit: I'm not sure if "mixed or average" is supposed to mean that those two words are synonymous. It seems to be a pretty broad category to me, ranging from 40 to 60. To me, "mixed" has more of a negative connotation than "average".
