Independence Day: Resurgence

Started by Kazenji12 pages

Noticed that there's a Independence Day comic from Titan Comics, From looking in CBR's comic reviews

the story fill's in the gaps between the end of the original blockbuster film and the upcoming sequel

Did Independence Day really need a sequel? Is it even the same anymore? Yeah, you got the aliens coming back this time with an even bigger death star--er, mothership (sorry) but the humans took their technology and extended their Earth Defense Force to the friggin moon. The first movie struck people as a thought of what would happen if aliens attacked Earth IRL. Now it's slowly slipping into X-COM territory.

Thinking of it like an XCOM movie makes me want to watch it more.

To top things off they need to battle in the ocean.

This is almost definitely going to be a steaming pile of shite.

But at least Jeff Goldblum is present. 👆

He will save us all.

Whether or not Independence Day needed a sequel or not is meaningless because it's no longer relevant. This sequel is fifteen years to late. An alien disaster movie is a formula that I think will always appeal to people but the Independence Day brand has lost its relevance long ago.

I remember when that movie first released I looked at it as a good, bad B movie but the bandwagon praised it as a sci-if masterpiece. However, today the popular view of the movie now rests in the big budget B-movie category. One of the other reasons why the original movie worked so well was because of the effects and the fact that we rarely got to see movies like it. However, movies like this seem to be released regularly now. The trailer doesn't promise anything we don't see, technology or story-wise regularly. It also doesn't help that they lost their one marquee actor. I'm sure the movie will do well butt fade into obscurity very quickly. Again, fifteen years ago this movie would be important right now but I doubt many people will be talking about even after its released

OK I saw it. So basically

New trailer is all transformersy....not good.

I know i'll probably check this movie out....but they've gone all out on the CGI

where as the first movie had a nice balance of CGI & Practical.

This looks so shitty. Good lord. Even Jeff Goldblum can't save us from this piece of shit.

I kinda like how the world is shown as futuristic having utilised the technology.
Gives this movie a nice visual edge.

Should be a fun watch even though they rehash a lot of the dialogue from the 1st.

So earth gets f*cked up once again

Doesn't look too bad

Definitely worth a watch. Love Sci Fi.

Maybe their queen was chosen by its kind through a fair voting system, so it's not the same thing as "Aliens".
