The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I turned it off after 15 minutes. Whoever wrote the dialogue should be... well you know what.Gordon Bennett, the exposition is torturous, stupid beyond bearing. I love good fun action, but this is beyond dumb - it is utterly, irredeemably cretinous

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.

2/10Hey Chinese company, if you want to push your products buy commercials on TV like everyone else.
As for these amateur-hour Chinese actors they keep putting in movies because the studio is now Chinese owned or Disney is trying to market its vomit in China please go stuff it. I am not interested.*I do have to admit watching thin long-haired Chinese actresses beats seeing Amy Schumer or Melissa McCarthy or Queen Latifah though. Just keeping it real.

The first Independence Day did no deserve this follow up. It only took about 20 minutes before I realized this was going to be a cheesy action-comedy. The graphics are pretty good so up'd my rating from 3 to a 5.
