(Independence

Emmerich
make-over
with
New
York
being
the
nuclear-enhanced
lizard’s
target,
as
opposed
to
Tokyo.
A scientist studying earth worms at the nuclear affected Chernobyl location is called in when the big monster madness heads for the Big Apple. His ex-girlfriend aspiring to be a news anchor gets her shot to report on this catastrophically sensational event, and they re-connect.
Created as a result of nuclear
tests, the French are also involved, but all actions seem hopeless in trying to stop the creature.
The production design is great and the creature convincingly rendered.
The rainy New York setting makes for a great mood.
A whole lot of city building demolition, silly humour and loud action makes for an enjoyable ride.
Blockbuster
fun.
