Independence Day: Resurgence comes 20 years after the first Independence Day. The story is pretty much the same as the first with aliens invading Earth. This movie starts off pretty strong and it is cool to see Earth integrating alien technology with their own. Unfortunately, the movie pretty much goes downhill from there. The battle sequences are all good for the most part and so is the CGI.
The acting is pretty bland and bad, except for Jeff Goldblum. They brought back Brent Spiner and he was so annoying. His jokes and attempts at humor are so bad. There are also so many unnecessary characters throughout. During the main battle sequence, it kept cutting back to these kids on a bus. They were just there for comedic purposes I guess, but it wasn't funny. There is more cringe- worthy romantic dialogue, and even more stupid subplots then you can count. Then there's a reveal in the third act that comes out of nowhere and is so, so dumb.
Overall, Independence Day: Resurgence is a terrible movie and not a good sequel to its memorable predecessor. This movie looks promising from the beginning but gets worse and worse as it goes. The humor is not funny and the abundance of characters take a toll on the film.
Independence Day: Resurgence gets a D+.
