Best movie of this year hands down!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
I really don't get the hype.
It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Way too many characters, most of whom are idiots. The suspense of the first film is gone and this film is completely and utterly unconvincing. Even Jeff Goldblum, who is usually very good, seemed to have a tough time being convincing. This was just bad on every level. Yuck!
This sequel is a CGI fun filled Hollywood Blockbuster. If you love movies with special effects, how could you not love this film?! Most alien movies are rubbish, but there are a few here and there that are worth watching. Independence Day: Resurgence has good performances, a decent movie plot, and impressive CGI & VFX, what's not to like?! If you want to compare this one to the original then you will not be able to enjoy this sequel. The special effects in Resurgence are much more advanced than the 90s one. 95% of the cast in this sequel are not in the original film, many hardcore fans of the first flick are upset about that, but sometimes it is better to have a mostly brand new cast especially when a sequel is made 20 years after the first one. The only things that are wrong with this sequel is the swearing and that guy with the long hair (Dr. Brakish Okun) and his friend, they didn't need to bring them back, they were barely in this movie and they were not really relevant to this new story.
So there is a million Chinese actors everywhere. Oh boy, it's Pacific Rim (originally a Japanese story)/Kong/Transporter/etc etc all over again
It has been twenty years since the initial invasion of Earth by advanced extraterrestrials. The same foes are transported by a mothership twice the size as before. The world's armies seems to have been sitting on their collective hands because the only real defensive firepower is the same surviving armaments and alien technology left behind from the original attack. This time the attacking force is doubled, but hopefully still more primitive. Sequences of sci-fi destruction along with the same drama, storyline and director of the 2012 movie. Chances are that big action, special effects and loudness will sustain you. Needless to say, there is a very large cast that features: Liam Hemsworth, Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Maika Monroe, Jessie T. Usher, Sela Ward, Vivica A. Fox and Judd Hirsch.
