One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
On July 2nd, communications systems worldwide are sent into chaos by a strange atmospheric interference. First thought to be meteors, they are later revealed to be gigantic spacecraft, piloted by a mysterious alien species who have set out to launch an attack throughout the globe. On July 3rd, the aliens all but obliterate New York, Los Angeles, and Washington when a band of survivors devise a plan to fight back against the enslaving aliens. On July 4th, humanity fights for its freedom.
"Great example of the disaster movie of the 1990s - and of course American egoism. The script is shallow, there is no character development or very clever solutions. But who needs all that? We have aliens wanting (without much reason) to destroy Earth, resulting in incredible sequences of destruction and all that talk about uniting humanity against the invaders. With popcorn and butter, those are enough reasons for watching this movie."
