Review of Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) by Marc5477 — 07 Aug 2016

The first movie was not exactly great, but it was good enough to act as a jumping pad for a better sequel. The problem is that the second movie would need to be more intelligent than the 1st for it to make sense and not be written off as just a heartless action flick with no story. Unfortunately, the makers of the second film opted for the quick cash route and left the story hopefuls rolling their eyes.

I could not see past the terrible writing/directing. For one, the main plot is not thought out at all. All they did was make the bad guy bigger and gave them more guns like a Dragonball Z story. It was worse than the new Star Wars which was a travesty simply due to its lineage. It simply didnt make sense that a extremely powerful alien species, who have destroyed countless other species around the universe, decide to bring their only weakness to the surface instead of just placing her in orbit from across the galaxy. The actions of the queen herself were also asinine and made no sense. Imagine the king or general of an army taking off on their own during the fight... Especially after learning that there was a real threat to them nearby... these are not the actions of an intelligent specie, these are the kind of things you see in a Pee Wee football.

At least we can put this series to rest. It stinks.
