The meeting room is stuffy, cigar smoke obscuring the old Omni Consumer Products execs. "Moving on, franchise product C9-B. Pandering to China is progressing nicely, and we got most of the employees from C9-A to return to work. We're filling the other slots with random assets picked by our TargetDemoBot. Revenue projection is acceptable". An intern nervously asks "Won't consumers be annoyed that we're basically making them pay for a more hollow version of the first one?". Silence, then laughter.

Is this whole thing Bill Pullman's Risperdal-assisted lucid dream as he's lying in his bed in the nuthouse letting his hair and beard get really long and bushy? I vote yes. Maybe that's why his daughter's suddenly Maika Monroe and Brent Spiner's somehow still alive and everyone seems sort of ambiguously gay. This is one of the worst movies of the year but it did allow me to cross "See a Charlotte Gainsbourg movie at the multiplex" off my bucket list.

So, they had 20 years to write this script, and all they did was write the exact same shit movie again, and just add an extra boss fight at the end? For real? Some idiot pitched this idea, and the producers said, "Fuck it, let's do it, just make sure it hits the theaters before 4th of July." One point for every year they jerked off writing this abomination. again.

You know what? Fuck it... It wasn't half bad. Moronic, sure, but (perhaps helped by the less-than-two-hour running time) inoffensively so. And I got immense enjoyment out of imagining, that Pullmann actually was supposed to play the role straight, but turned up drunk and disillusioned by by the current state of his career, looking like that, every day, until they finally replaced him with a cleanshaven cgi stand-in.

Nothing wrong with a big, brainless sci-fi (see its predecessor) but it's got to have at least some dramatic weight, be decently acted, have a character to care about as well as some good one-liners. This film fails on almost all counts: The exposition and pep talks are beyond cheesy, the performances often bad, the characters too numerous and forgettable (save for Drs. Okun and Isaac's cute couple) and the one-liners in one ear out the other, save for one: "They like to get the landmarks".

This sequel had a long, and complicated birthing period. It was a miracle that this ever broke free from development hell. Just like the original, the movie was an empty action flick, forgettable and only entertaining on the surface, hard to even respect. Independence Day: Resurgence is like a cheap whore, hiding her ugliness behind suggestive clothing and caked on makeup, completely dead inside, but nevertheless somewhat pleasurable.

This movie is mostly "HAY remember that movie we did 20 years ago?!" with a bunch of "This is safe for Chinese investors!" and then following every single sci-fi formula established ever. I mean, come on, why even do a movie at this point? It did well in China, I guess, if that is what they were aiming for. No stakes in this movie. You know everything that's going to happen. Take what's in your mind right now; yes, that is what happened. Good, you can move on with your life and skip this.

I don't think the core ideas for this were particularly strong, and there were too many not-very-interesting characters. Chuck in some fairly baffling decisions and pace-killing exposition, and we have a bit of a dud. I had enough goodwill left over from the source film to get me through, Goldblum is always worth watching, and some of the destruction was entertaining enough. Hard to recommend, though, even for fans of the original.

165 million ... the same budget as Interstellar ... and they made this ... I LOVE the original as a leave your brain outside popcorn sci fi action flick, but this just doesn't hold a candle to it. I have NO problem with a sequel. This is just shit. A stripper in the last film is now a senior doctor? All our tech is now futuristic after only 20 years?

Abysmal sequel is a leaden, dead weight in every way - note the clunky exposition in the opening scenes, bland lead performances from Hemsworth and Usher, the complete waste of an unused Goldblum and a pitifully over-the-top Pullman - both actors work too rarely nowadays to be mired in dreck like this. The shoddy effects work would be amusing in a Syfy movie channel production - but inexcusable in a major studio tentpole. Spiner's scenes at least generate some energy and amusement.

In Helsinki, Finland they opened two weeks ago a brand new Scape movie theatre. Wide leather seats, more room for feet, bigger screen, better Barco 4K laser projector, dynamic Dolby Atmos sound system through the total of 68 loudspeakers. Nice! Oh, the movie, yes, I saw this one in it. Some okay effects.

There is about 5% of this script that might be made into a somewhat interesting sequel. Another 5% is reused footage from the original. The final 90% is toxic sludge that infects everything about this movie. I didn't think I could possibly hate a Roland Emmerich production more than Godzilla but here we are. This makes the original look like Star Wars by comparison.

A putrid, leaden insult to movie-goers intelligence; chock full of ludicrous coincidences, ridiculous CGI, miraculous survival (assuming you were in the cast list, of course), and a script so monumentally pathetic that one can only assume Fitcher, Pulman & Goldblum have all gone through costly divorces recently and need to pay off their spouses. Simply inexcusable dross. If you want to create some sort of yardstick of "goddamn awful", this and "Identity Thief" are the two main contenders

Takes almost everything the 1st did right and rehashes it badly. The first half is a downright bore, the characters all suck, the returning cast esp gets terrible writing, and the script overall has the pace and coherence of a scifi original. Devoid of any dramatic tension, the back half is pretty underwhelming. As a giant monster fan, I'll admit to loving the bits with the queen and even bad action can occasionally look cool when you burn a couple hundred million dollars on it.

Oh how the tedium tapdances on my soul. The ne plus ultra of Roland Emmerich's abominable oeuvre, a piece of cinema that wouldn't even deserve a four a.m. slot on the sci-fi channel, the schlock can't even get an opportunity to spread its wings because the dance floor is smothered in long stretches of dullness. I have never championed the original, a wholly disposable bit of naught/dull as a papal bull, but that turd looks flawless in comparison. Glad to see Brent Spiner getting work though.

I was pretty bored for most of it. There was a lot of unnatural exposition, a bunch of unfunny one-liners, and plenty of pandering to the Chinese market. It was fun to see some of the old characters, but the new characters were exceptionally bland. Most of the action scenes didn't do much for me, and I don't appreciate the CGI aliens, when the practical ones were so cool in '90s. The climax was pretty good, but I didn't like the ending.

They should have called it "Generic Sci-Fi Movie" and let David Zucker direct it. It's like 10 movies in one. And they're all bland, tonally inconsistent and have too many characters. Mostly it's just ripping off itself and Star Wars. In the most dispassionate manner possible. It's pretty much sharknado, but with more money, better sets, costumes, effects and performances. Maika Monroe was pretty great. But she sounded like she had a weird speech impedement in a couple of "scenes"...

This is like a big budget 90's throwback film, no cynicism, attempts at rousing speeches, confused elderly fathers, out of place accountants. It's what South Park made a career out of by mocking & it's back, one more time at least. I had a huge problem with the burst of extremely basic exposition coming from the white orb during the middle of the film. That coupled with countless plot holes, really led to a loss of gravity in the immersion side of things. Goldblum & Spiner stand out, as a plus.

ID: Resurgence is one of the most unexpected and unnecessary sequels in memory. The original ID was a lot of fun at the time, but did we need this sequel 20 years later? There's no originality, it's horribly written, poorly paced and every character feels like a spare part. Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman and several other original cast members are nostalgically shoehorned in but are either underused or misused. Whilst there are far too many unnecessary new additions who either annoy or underwhelm.

Aging actors perfunctorily step back into the least interesting roles of their careers, while the new blood fails to make any impression at all. This will not make a dent in the blockbuster landscape and doesn't deserve to; every mass-destruction-driven summer event movie of the past twenty years has been another Independence Day where it counts, and many have been bigger, smarter, and more original.

Surprisingly watchable just based on special effects and action scenes alone that is if..you can ignore Brent Spiner standing around in his underwear for 3/4's of the movie. The blubbering stupid dialogue. The awkward product placement for Chinese products. The wooden Chinese actress who just seems to be some kind of prop. Liam Hemsworth is probably a better actor than Hollywood gives him credit for in these frat bro roles. Jeff Goldblum looks old and tired these days.

I liked this sequel at least as much. It has a weird necessity to re-use (almost) every character of the first one, plus a whole bunch of new ones. Of course all are underdeveloped. And the plot loses what's actually happening in the other plot threads. But it is more impressive in the entertainment department where it goes way more over the top, I mean a space ship that covers the whole North Atlantic Ocean. WOW! Apart from some spectacular moments, it is a very mediocre overstuffed movie.

Resurgence is a tough sell to be sure. Roland Emmerich seems more interested in turning his sci-fi action film into a bankable franchise then actually making a suitable sequel. Adding plot point which have no payoff except to set up a sequel. The special effects are missing the practical spark they had in the original. Though it is hard not to enjoy the excessive destruction scenes and some of the cringy humor.

It's certainly bigger than the original. Look, for nostalgia's sake, it was good to see some of the characters again, but it's not like it was a sequel we needed. You'd think 20 years would allow for a decent plot but this one is a mess. It's so disjointed, it almost feels like a bunch of writers got a character, came up with a story and glued it all together. Pity, because the original has become such a classic.

Certainly not great, and short of the original. But it isn't a bad sequel to the cheesy original. Good destruction early and seeing some of the old characters back was kinda cool. A couple of really dry jokes, although most miss the mark. It's impossible to shake how terrible some of the cast is though. Goldblum is only half trying. Hirsh is terrible and his mini arc is a waste. Usher is awful as kid Hiller. Pullman and Spiner help to mitigate the issues. Too many characters and kinda boring.

Entertaining enough that I didn't want to turn it off (my wife and I love 'bad end-of-the-world' films). The plot is a little unbelievable in places (Liam Hemsworth doesn't appear to answer to anyone at all and just does entirely his own thing) and most of the characters are two-dimensional and boring. It's exactly what you would expect from this sequel to huge a very successful film.

For a sequel that seems to have been gestating forever, INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE feels tremendously rushed. It somehow manages cram in a bunch of moldy and outdated ideas while cynically chasing modern blockbuster trends, with no idea of how to make any of it work. At least the nostalgic pandering can elicit a chuckle or two, especially when Jeff Goldblum is involved, but rarely does a $160 million movie feel this cheap and chinzy.

So I'm not really sure why this movie gets all the hate, I mean this isn't a great movie but it's not that bad either. It could be because the first film is considered a classic and it took 20 years for a sequel. I personally thought it was a big, loud, dumb, exciting popcorn flick that had me smiling and laughing with my wife the whole time for all the right reasons and I can ask for more than that from something like this.

Resurgence is the archetype of a modern summer blockbuster; great visuals but completely lacking in soul. Almost every character moment falls flat, occasionally throwing off the pacing, and actually working against building any cinematic tension. For a lot of the action sequences, I was more concerned with whether I'd seen it before in Star Trek or Ender's Game, rather than the plot. Then again when they blatantly suggested a sequel at the end, I didn't hate the idea.Dumb, but expected .

I don't understand all the negative feedback for this movie. I expected some fun with this movie and that's what I got. A worthy successor to the original in my opinion. Plus Brent Spiner is just great.

Bigger, slicker and more devastating. But such a pity. It's silly and grotesque too. My opinion here : http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2016/10/independence-day-resurgence-2016.html

I won't lie, I enjoyed this. I thought it was fun, I liked how it took the idea of ID4, a film that needed no sequel, and took it in a different direction. I liked that it wasn't taking itself seriously (Emmerich patented human condition sub-plots aside, which were mercifully brief but still jarringly tone deaf) and i like the direction that this (now a) franchise is going because its got to be a satirical comment on what happens when Americans get attacked and the ensuing wars

Not good, certainly, but I don't see much difference between it and the original. Lots of stuff blows up, aliens attack, aliens die, acting ranges from horrid to decent, a complete spacial and temporal incoherence in the narrative, some ok characterizations stripped to the bone almost to the point of parody. About what I'd expect. There's an added "world unity" angle to the film that is kinda cool in theory, but is ineffective because the story's us vs them mentality undermines its ideals.

Not the spectacular sequel it wanted to be... or was it just a cash cow it wanted to be? Yes it was. Alright brain dead destruction if one doesn't let irritate oneself too much about the clichés and illogic. Lives totally on references to the original instead of having anything unique to say for itself. Tries to out-do the spectacular spaceship warfare, but it all becomes artificial nonsense without a single human emotion shining through the CGI sets. The giggles are better then the killings.

Turned this visual cancer fest off halfway. Will someone please put Emmerich out of his misery already?

Armed with those character traits, even hopelessly overmatched humans can survive and even win against an overwhelming foe, as long as they don't lose their hope and faith. In Independence Day: Resurgence, love--of country, of home, of others--conquers all, even if aliens destroy much of humanity before we get that happy ending. (pluggedin.com)

Lazily done, no logic and mass destruction. Another unnecessary movie from Emmerich.

20 years later, the aliens are back, and humanity, despite having used their technology to our advantage in the interim, faces yet another uphill battle. Generally panned and deemed an unworthy sequel, this may not have the character or the event-film status of the original - not when such spectacles are a dime a dozen - but it's surprisingly entertaining nonetheless, with Jeff Goldblum and Brent Spiner in particular reprising their roles to good effect. The final line is a particular delight.

I'm finding it hard to grade movies this week,Suicide Squad has fucked with my calibration.Everyone under 40 is a terrible actor in this,having said that Goldblum is always fun to watch.They have some great sci-fi concepts and loads of Chinese production money judging by the cast and QQ adverts,it's at least 5? better than Skwad I recon.N ot a bad sequel but not something I can recommend.

Generally an okay action movie gets a passing grade from me because I'm easier on the genre and find a lot of them to be an entertaining way to pass the time, even if they're insubstantial. This follows all of the formulaic elements that the genre is known for, but I didn't ever feel like the world was at risk. I know, there was no way that Earth didn't win, and there's a lot of disaster but it didn't feel it ultimately. That makes it hard to forgive the wonkiness in other areas.

The popcorn aspects of the movie were decent, but the character building was horribly flat. How am I supposed to care about a movie if I don't care about a single character in it ? Even worse, some of the characters were straight up annoying and useless, and made parts of the movie drag on forever.
