Independence Day: Resurgence
If it wasn't for the dialogue, drama, and characters, this would have been a hit. The tension to jaw-dropping ratio is so perfectly balanced. I was intrigued even though the plot was predictable. It unfortunately felt too much like a tv sitcom, but the alien execution and score was astonishing. I could only imagine the terror in those moments, but then it cut to the humans being understandably idiotic. Also, more people should have died. Once certain people survive for the 9th time, it gets annoying. I'd only recommend it if you like sci-fi alien stuff where humanity is at risk.

A needless sequel that falls flat on its face. I don’t remember too much about it, but enough to remember it’s pants!

Independence Day: Resurgence
Independence Day: Resurgence is a soulless and chaotic sequel (4.6/10) that misunderstands what made its predecessor a classic. The film attempts to recapture the magic by making everything bigger and louder, but without the heart and charm of the original, it collapses into a joyless and forgettable CGI spectacle.
The Good:
• Legacy cast: Brief moments featuring Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman provide a welcome dose of nostalgia.
The Not So Good:
• Convoluted story: The screenplay is a lazy rehash of the first film's plot points, lacking coherent stakes or emotional investment.
• New cast: The young cast is bland and charmless, unable to fill the void left by Will Smith's absence.
• Over-reliance on CGI: The action sequences are often chaotic and unconvincing, lacking the iconic clarity of the original.
The Verdict: Independence Day: Resurgence is a spectacular failure that captures none of the magic of the original. It's a loud, boring, and charmless film that fails to justify its own existence. Stick with the 1996 classic instead.

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) tried to cash in on nostalgia but ended up a massive letdown. Overloaded with CGI, weak characters, and zero heart. The epic alien invasion felt more like a noisy video game with no stakes. Skip unless you love explosions without purpose. 💥👾😴🚀
