Haven't seen Mars Attacks, but I remember it at least looking like a totally different movie. When I said "90s popcorn movie", I meant more the summer blockbuster, big budget, action/disaster movies that studios pretty much banked half of their revenue on. Like Armageddon, Twister, and Transformers. Michael Bay-core basically. I consider similar movies like Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 to be the same idea, but actually kind of intelligent, and therefore completely different. And Independence Day could still hang with those movies afaic.
