The other day my wife said “why haven’t they made an Independence Day 2?”. I told her “they did, and we saw it in theaters, together, on opening night”. She had literally blocked that hot garbage out of her memory. I wish I could do the same.

Not only did I forget this movie existed, I forgot I had already watched it.

My husband and I take turns picking movies we want to see together. He really wanted to see this, so we went to watch it. After leaving the theater he was like "I'm so sorry, you can pick the next two movies". True story

I saw this in the theater with my husband, we both loved the original. Halfway through I went to the restroom just to google the runtime to see how much longer I had to sit through.

My 12 year old girl sat down with me and watched “Independence Day” one Saturday and enjoyed it. At the end, she asked me if there was a sequel and I said, “No, sorry honey.” One day she’ll find out that I lied, but she’ll forgive me.

Calling Liam Hemsworth "Discount CHRIS Hemsworth" and Brent Spiner "Discount Data" Absolute legend.

I love the idea that they think the only thing you need to do to make the move from stripper to doctor is just decide to make a career change. Lol

I heard someone make a great point about this film before. The African warlord guy talks about the struggle to fight all the stranded aliens in a conflict that lasted for years after the events of the first film. I want to see THAT film. Machetes vs Lasers. Make it happen.

Independence Day was admittedly fun and dumb, but Resurgence was just plain dumb and kept dragging on forever.

5:24 "his mate Charlie, who's Charlie" Truer words have never been spoken.

"This whole thing is just included to create the idea that there's some kind of clever mystery plot going on with this movie, when in actual fact, it's just dumb as F*ck." Got the involuntary laugh even on the replay. Love this guy.

If your alien civilization has the ability to travel between stars and do so in only a matter of years, you by necessity also have the energy needed to fry the Earth's surface, either with a big laser or some kind of relativistic kinetic weapon (in fact, they could literally just dump their garbage in the Earth's direction while flying past it at near light speed and it would have the same effect as setting off all of Earth's nuclear arsenal simultaneously, except without the radioactive fallout). If all the aliens wanted was the Earth's core, there was no reason they had to invade when they could have simply sterilized the Earth from space, then they could just scoop out the core at their leisure without any resistance.

“Luckily they were wearing their plot armor”. Absolutely hysterical.

This channel needs a science channel. I’d watch the Drinker talk science all day long.

That speech by the president was one of the best movie speeches ever.

The Tatianna lore is so deep at this point that she could be a guest on the channel.

"Are there interesting characters with conflicts or flaws?" "Well, they're diverse..." "You mean they look different?" "Yeah, diverse." "Right... well, is the story well written? Does it offer something to chew on intellectually or emotionally?" "The CGI effects are amazing!" "The CGI?" "Explosions and bright colors. Really neat!" Sadly, not even close to the only movie doing this.

Saw the first movie, but didn't realize there was a sequel. Can anyone tell me: Have the invading aliens managed to update their anti-virus software since the first movie? They were previously defeated by a geek with an old Mac laptop and a floppy disk.
