Independence Day: Resurgence
We always knew they were coming back. 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.
Critics Sentiment
Mothership lands and begins drilling through Earth's crust
Earth Space Defense and post-invasion world establishment
The film jumps from its weakest opening exposition to impressive destruction spectacle when the mothership arrives and begins devastating Earth.
Independence Day: Resurgence starts poorly with awkward exposition that feels more like a documentary than engaging cinema. The film finds its footing during the spectacular destruction sequences that showcase impressive visual effects, but ultimately disappoints with an abrupt, sequel-baiting ending that lacks the emotional satisfaction of the original.
