Dude, that was so cool, I love it! The way the music builds both times and how you used that for the aliens attacking Earth and then the human retaliation was just awesome.

My jaw is on the floor. How have you made Independence Day look this incredible? Fantastic!

KICK. ASS.

[From: bedlamsbard]

This is INTENSE! I love how long it took in the beginning -- the shadows and that sense of approaching doom.

[From: escritoireazul]

Amazing, amazing, amazing. The pacing is incredible, the music choice perfect, and you really nicely captured the intensity of the source.

[From: inkjunket]

That was AWESOME. The music and every beat are so perfect.

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!

[From: exitsign]

Amazing!

[From: rthstewart]

Whoa. This is way better than the film itself.

The dramatic tone of this was so gleefully powerful, the energy was great, loved the jump cuts on the "da da da"s around 1 minute and the total shift in tone along with the musical shift at the 2 minute mark. The date text labels were a brilliant touch.

[From: ghost_lingering]

Very nice! Love how you cut the action scenes to make them even more intense. (Also, I had forgotten the bit about the dog -- so tense!)

[From: chagrined]

BOOM! That was fun.

[From: livrelibre]

OMG that was epic! Well done!

[From: sasha_feather]

I looooove this especially the music!!

[From: archersangel]

that rocked so hard.

[From: gorgeousnerd]

So epic, holy crap! My socks are officially knocked off.

[From: ladysorka]

This was so epic and dramatic - I love the jump cuts to the beat and the way you made this movie look so awesome. The date and film title card in there worked spectacularly well for me as well - I distinctly remember the first time I saw the trailer for this in the theatre and how it made it seem like it was going to be the BEST MOVIE EVER, and you really recaptured that feeling for me. Even though I know that it isn't.

[From: tree]

DAMN. this is stunning.

[From: thingswithwings]

This is gorgeous. Great choice of music and your editing style matched it perfectly. Nice shivery action vid!

[From: lunabee34]

This is very very cool.

[From: acari]

That was phenomenal. It's like you took all the fun explodey alien bits of the movie and made it look super cool. The cut of the explosions and the sense of doom and mounting intensity were amazing. That's some skilled vidding right there!

[From: yourlibrarian]

Like a visual thrill ride!

[From: stewardess]

Wow. WOW. This is such a superb editing job. Perfect mix of action with reaction shots. It's like being shot out of a cannon.

[From: franzeska]

IT WAS AWESOME AND THINGS EXPLODED!

AND THE DOG DIDN'T DIE! (But then we already knew who didn't make this.)

[From: thirdblindmouse]

Explosions! LASERS! Did the dog survive?!

Er, what I meant to comment was: This is a great vid. Really great. Fantastic (and kind of unusual) use of music. This vid was so epic!

[From: colls]

Holy Crap!!
That rocked.

[From: laurashapiro]

Wow. That is awesome. Literally.

[From: china_shop]

Things go BOOM! That was awesome! (I haven't seen the film -- I expected all the pretty explosions, but I did not predict there'd be a dog. YAY DOG!) BOOM!
