This movie will be enjoyed best by 13-16 year old boys. Its a children's movie.
Its 100m$ on CGI and 1000$ on script and story. You can guess the whole movie from the first 5 minutes, it has all the worst used up cliche's in the book.
The first movie made much more sense from the actions the characters took. Here, they're all idiots (humans and aliens).

If you choose to watch it, expect only normal level of GFX and nothing else. If you're looking for gripping storytale - move along sir, nothing to see here.

barely 5/10.

Havent watched the movie but my guess is that humans will win and Liam aka Jake Morrison will be thought dead but will not be and gets to kiss a super hot actress... But im still curious about it :D

This HAS to be the WORST movie I've seen in a long time. Acting is horrendous. The plot is ridiculous. CGI is obvious. No character development. Events are predictable. Plot has more holes than swiss cheese. Don't waste your time watching this garbage.

Well, I don't know why everyone is hating this movie so much. In my opinion, this is quite a good sequel, especially since it accounts for the 20 years inbetween the first and the second movie. And they managed to bring a lot of the original cast back.

Ugh. What a terrible movie. They could have done so much with this sequel, but instead went with a nonsense story, horrible acting, bad casting, and awful dialogue. I really liked the first one, so despite the bad reviews, I wanted to enjoy this movie. They made that impossible. Nothing but CGI effects that don't blow us away anymore, and paper thin characters doing idiotic things. What a waste.

What a great continuation of independence day..was worth waiting for

I dunno everybody's problem, I loved it and can't wait for ID3!!! #ShiftvW8

2 hours of pain likened to going to the dentist & having your teeth pulled with rusty pliers!,I'll start by saying Independence day:Resurgence is BAD very very BAD,it's one of those movies where the director Roland Emmerich cared more about how much crappy CGI he could cram into a 2 hour movie & couldn't have cared less about 1) The Script 2) The characters who by the way i wanted each & every one of them destroyed by the Harvesters! Also the fact they wasted a reputed $155 million on this movie is just sickening, This movie failed miserably where Independence Day flourished with Character development,we cared about Capt' Steven Hillard mainly because it was Will Smith because lets face it thats why so many people like the movie apart from the then ground breaking SFX but this movie was just plain dull & disjointed i could go on & on about just how bad this movie is but im depressing myself!! So to sum up if you want to watch a great sci-fi movie & got a couple of hours spare just watch Will Smith in Independence Day again

Yet another movie where the story and actors are just good enough to justify my enthusiasm for the special effects. Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, and Brent Spiner expand their characters some, while the new members of the cast make little to no impression.

I like the overall story and the setup for a third film. I guess there is enough of an ending here that I'm not pissed off at the movie's true lack of a conclusion like I was after "Prometheus" or after "Back To The Future Part 2" years ago.

The scale of the alien ship is ridiculous. I couldn't stop thinking about how the ship's massive size wouldn't alter the Earth's rotation or cause extreme seismic shifts or something. C'mon, it lands on the Earth like a big bug and covers the entire Atlantic Ocean! Then again, I'm totally okay with the silliness of a Queen-bee alien the size of Godzilla. I'm contradicting myself. Is it cool or dumb? Can it be both?

Actually, the more I think about it, the more fun it gets.
