Replicates the dopey earnest charm but not (for lack of a better term) the original’s simplicity. Not nearly enough Goldblum/Pullman biodigital jazz.

On July 2nd, they arrive. On July 3rd, they strike. On July 4th, we fight back. On June 24th, 2016, we…wish they had won. In the summer of 1996, Roland Emmerich’s “Independence Day” reinvented the alien invasion genre for the blockbuster era, using newfangled digital technology to make a B-movie big enough to bring the whole world together. Its reputation may be overinflated by millennials who subsist on a steady diet of their own petrified kitsch, but Emmerich’s war of the worlds has nevertheless come to represent a type of full-bodied studio spectacle for which we all ought to be nostalgic. In fact, the self-described “master of disaster” seems really pissed at the people who aren’t. His lazy insult of…

Alright, this wasn’t as terrible to me as some people made it out to be. It wasn’t great. But I didn’t hate it. 🤷 All of it just kind of feels unnecessary. If you couldn’t get Will Smith to do it. Why even bother? Sure, you got majority of the cast back…but Will WAS ID4. Also, the plot was super convoluted and overall just kind of stupid. I still found some enjoyment in it. I thought visually it was pretty solid. Also, I actually like Liam Hemsworth. Sure, not as much as Thor, but I still.enjoy his work. So I thought he did pretty decent. Would have been cooler if they brought the original kids back to play their roles.…

Mindless, lacks substance. You don’t really give a shit about anyone but hey the 2 hours flew by.

Did they really think they could distract us from the lack of Will Smith by casting Liam Hemsworth & Jessie T. Usher?😒 That’s just embarrassing.🤦♀️ Slog of a sequel to one of my fave movies💩. All the fun is sucked out & the new leads have exactly zero personality😑. That one star is for Judd Hirsch & Judd Hirsch ONLY🚍⭐️.

28/100 Hollywood has been obsessed with ‘dinosaur’ franchises – fossilized blockbusters lost to the sands of time and nostalgia – to the point where reclaiming quality isn’t even a factor. At least with Jurassic world (Colin Trevorrow’s Star Wars application form, ironically enough) or The Force Awakens, their rose-colored adventures were solidified by spectacle and a sense of character; a common trademark of their iconic predecessors. But what happens when a belated sequel is based on a film which wasn’t even good in the first place? Enter Independence Day: Resurgence. Now, the “classic” Will Smith/Jeff Goldblum vehicle isn’t without its charms. A smothering of cheese and sci-fi destruction carries itself to a point, and Bill Pullman’s rousing speech still flies…

Twenty years ago, director Roland Emmerich put on screen an alien-invasion disaster feature with moments so iconic & jaw-dropping that viewers n critics alike were left dazzled by the sheer scale & size of its ambition. Independence Day was a watershed event for its genre and its influence on both disaster films & blockbuster filmmaking cannot be downplayed. But Independence Day was also in every way a self-contained film. It never needed a sequel and its legacy was well-preserved for years to come. That was until Emmerich decided to put a dent on it, which is exactly what he does with Independence Day: Resurgence. A strong contender for the absolute worst film of 2016, this sequel is as needless & cringeworthy as movies can…

Like so many Hollywood blockbusters these days, Independence Day: Resurgence ends with a beginning. Before the dust has even settled on the final conflict, the next conflict is already set in motion. Rather than tying a bow around the previous two hours of planet-leveling carnage, Resurgence’s last scene begins teasing another sequel. Then it cuts to black and the credits begin to roll. When they did last night at Brooklyn’s United Artists Court Street 12, one of the other attendees began screaming. This is as much of their tirade as I could transcribe: “Bulls—! Bulls—! I want my motherf—ing money back! In 38 years, that is the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life! What the f— was that? We just watched a f—ing preview!” Full review at ScreenCrush.

The aliens came back for revenge and I came back for entertainment. We were both disappointed but at least I stayed awake this time.

For a good chunk of this, I was enjoying it, but it becomes too messy, with the alien queen having the aim of a stormtrooper when trying to shoot the bus. There’s some absolutely terrific effects here, which again, I was all for but then I feel like they got worse. I was fully lost when it became so clear that even exterior shots in the desert were filmed in front of a green screen. So throughly enjoyable for the first hour, a bit of a mess the second hour.

Em geral o filme tem cenas muito bem produzidas, cenas extremamente bem trabalhadas e trilha sonora potente mas senti que os momentos onde precisavam de sentimentalismo acabavam sendo cortados no meio. Acabou dando uma sensação de que o ritmo do filme estava acelerado demais, cenas de ação ótimas, mas senti que as interações entre os personagens poderiam ser mais intensas. Senti que faltou algo a mais na atuação e nas interações. As mortes que ocorreram ao longo do filme deveriam…

Une suite était-t’elle nécessaire? Non. Cette suite est-t’elle réussie? Non. Pourquoi tant de haine? Je ne sais pas! Digne d’un téléfilm M6, les effets spéciaux sont un peu meilleurs quand même. Mais l’ensemble donne franchement l’impression de tourner en rond, de ne rien apporter de neuf, de recycler une idée d’il y a 20 ans qui était un bon gros délire, mais bon, c’était il y a 20 ans et de l’eau a coulé sous les ponts. Aujourd’hui

C’était d’un vide abyssal et stratosphérique… C’est tout ce que je peux dire. Même Jeff Goldblum n’arrive pas à sauver le film tellement il en avait rien a foutre.

it just feels so soulless, but I cant help but have a blast with it. The alien design is peak, I love the action, all the destruction, has nothing on the og and feels so strange in comparison, idk what the hell they were doing, but I don’t hate it.

Might be the one of the most unnecessary and worst sequels we’ve ever had. Lost all its charm, excitement and humour.

In raising the stakes of an already ridiculously excessive disaster movie, especially with its surprisingly bad blockbuster cgi, its scale becomes incoherent – it can neither visually communicate it nor come up with any way to emotionally convey it. Despite being composed of a significant amount of homage, this feels far more like Battleship or the Transformers movies than the original Independence Day.

This movie falls into the category of didn’t really need to be made. Honestly, I kinda respect that they basically did beat for beat of the first one.

Entertaining, just that. Nothing more unfortunately.

Take the aesthetic moment of Pacific Rim then remove charm and creativity and replace them with jingoism. Top it off with some pretty bad performances and questionable directing and you are left this with mess.

Même merde que le 1er mdrrrr En vrai ça vaaaa je crois que je le préfère légèrement au 1er même. Quitte à voir de la daube autant que ce soit bien fait visuellement… pour le coup visuellement ça va. Plein d’incohérences quand même.. et on sent qu’ils ont voulu s’accrocher aux personnages du 1er 20 ans après… à part Jeff Goldblum, je vois pas ce que les autres persos du 1er ont à foutre dans le film… et les nouveaux persos sont claqués au sol. Qu’est ce que Charlotte Gainsbourg fout là-dedans ?

Absolute cheese fest but it’s okay. At least it’s about unification and not division.

Impossible d’être objectif, il y a pratiquement rien qui va et pourtant j’aime bien ce film. Du CGI porn en veux-tu en voilà. Un scénario écrit à la va-vite. Des dialogues debiles à souhaite. Un vrai et pur plaisir coupable.

En que momento las cosas se pusieron así de mal? Bueno sirve para pasar el rato pero no cumple con al menos ser entrañable como su predecesora. De verdad se ve desde el guión que les precisaba más acción por espectáculo y comedia que intentar hacer algo creativo o que llegara a la gente. Y si, seguimos hablando de una historia que en su primera entrega logró muchas cosas en una película de extraterrestres atacando la tierra. Curioso que el director sea el mismo de la anterior.

It’s definitely not better than the first one but it’s not a bad sequel to it either. Jeff Goldblum makes any movie good

Und dann folgt „Wiederkehr“. 2016 verließ ich das Kino deutlich enttäuschter als heute. Die Fortsetzung leidet weiterhin unter dem Fehlen von Will Smith und erreicht nie die ikonische Qualität des Originals. Viele neue Figuren bleiben blass und der Film setzt stärker auf digitale Effekte als auf Charisma. Trotzdem fiel mir beim Wiedersehen auf, dass ich damals möglicherweise etwas ungerecht war. Die Welt, die Emmerich zwanzig Jahre nach der ersten Invasion entwirft, ist durchaus interessant. Die Verbindung menschlicher und außerirdischer Technologie…

Haven’t finished it was so bored might get round to it but while im on here writing stuff thought I’d log it from like three weeks ago. It’s pointless. The military like terrorsist leader alien killer bloke was pretty cool.

Shocked that Will Smith’s character didn’t get a statue for his heroics in the original film.
- Synopsis
- We always knew they were coming back. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.
