Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)


An ancient portal has opened and the nations of earth have to collaborate to fight against the return of a ruthless alien species. Ill-prepared Earth works on an immense defense programme using recovered alien technology to protect the planet. With the devastation brought upon Earth, only a few brave men and women can possibly save humankind from extinction.

We always knew they were coming back. After INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global catastrophe on an unimaginable scale. 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.

Set 20 years after the original, this sequel sees the nations of Earth use the alien technology to develop an advanced defense system for the planet. But nothing can prepare them for an unprecedented force of alien attackers out for revenge. It’s up to a few brave men and women to save the world from extraterrestrials once more.

United military forces thought they had defeated the aliens that threatened to destroy Earth. But it becomes clear that there are more aliens with an even bigger fleet headed back to finish the job their friends couldn't. Starring most of the original cast, the sequel also features Liam Hemsworth as a young pilot, Sela Ward as the president of the United States, and more. Like the first Independence Day, expect serious action, dangerous situations, and collateral damage. 

Fearful of another attack, the nations of Earth have teamed up against a common enemy - the extraterrestrials that brought their planet to the brink of extinction. Using recovered alien technologies, the Earth coalition is braced for another infiltration.

  1. The special effects in the new Independence Day: Resurgence trailer looks insanely good, a huge improvement over the previous movie.

    Two decades after the first Independence Day invasion, Earth is faced with a new extra-Solar threat. But will mankind's new space defenses be enough?

  2. The speech is cut before the payoff. Pulman’s voice over gives way to the new film’s title slab. Gutsy that, but you worry that the marketing bods are trying to have their cigar and chomp it too.

    I would have enjoyed that film so much more if they had limited the references to Jurassic Park to just one or two.

    There are a few bits where a longer excerpt of a given already-revealed scene plays out, such as Jeff Goldblum and Charlotte Gainsbourg discovering the ship and Bill Pullman possibly making the sacrifice play.

    Actually, if you have watched all the video releases in the past few months you would have known only about 30-45 seconds of that trailer is new footage. The screenshot of the young actors has been in at least 3 videos released by the studio.

  4. The first movie is one of my ultimate weaknesses, I can't flip the channel to see this on and not finish it.

    Aliens destroy America. The world is over, but America wins. The world is saved. Poor story, and no offence.

    Remakes, reboots, and sequels to long dormant films are all the rage right now. While Independence Day: Resurgence is definitely playing on a bit nostalgia, it's at least doing it with the original creators along for the ride.

  5. When plans to make a sequel to Independence Day picked up in 2009, both Emmerich and Devlin had wanted to film two movies back-to-back and turn Independence Day into a proper trilogy.

    A lot can happen in 20 years, and while the official website fills in a few of the gaps, it doesn't tell the whole story. A prequel comic from Titan Comics aims to give us a glimpse of what happened during the last two decades.
