ID4 one scene in particular

[Beta Man]

If Aliens blowing stuff up is a "spoiler" then sorry to awaken you from under your rock.....

The scene, after Will Smith and the other pilots take their fighter planes to attack one of the main ships the first time, and the ship releases little fighter ships of its own......

When they attack the planes that are still on the ground, and people are running etc.... the explosions are SO RIDICULOUS looking. I haven't compared this to the DVD version, but do the small explosions look as CGI/Fake as they do on the blu-ray version at this point in the movie? The rest (from what I saw, I didn't see the whole thing last night) looked really good, and this part wasn't "bad" just really cheesy..... I think the HD affect actually hurt the movie by exposing the fake-ness of it!
