Independence Day:
Resurgence
Plot summary:
Twenty years has passed since
humanity faced its greatest threat and fought its greatest battle for freedom
against the extra-terrestrial beings that sought to destroy our planet. And
with time, their technology had been used for our advantage, heightening our
offensive and defensive technologies. During his trip to visit a remaining
alien ship in Africa, Dr. David Levinson is informed that an alien spaceship is
spotted near the moon. Despite Dr. Levinson’s protest towards firing at this
new mysterious spaceship that is dissimilar to that of their previous
assailants, offensive measures are proceeded. And while acquiring a particular
section of its remains, the Earth is approached by a three thousand-mile
spacecraft. Their familiar foe has returned. It is now up to the military and a
team of scientists to prepare the counter-measures and defeat this formidable
foe before them, as they did two decades ago.
Review:
Personally, I found this sequel
as entertaining as its previous installment. We see some familiar characters as
well as newly-introduced characters – all who are portrayed well. It was good
to see actors such as Jeff Goldblum(Dr. David Levinson), Bill Pullman(former
president Thomas J. Whitmore), Brent Spiner(Dr. Brakish Okun), and Judd
Hirsch(Julius Levinson) reappear in this franchise. And some of them brought
some good hilarity into play in some of the scenes. Too bad they had killed off
Will Smith’s character – Captain Steven Hiller – out of this sequel, though.
The new actors and actresses did a great job too, in my opinion.
We see much more CGI this time,
and it was all spectacular – from the interstellar clouds to the fiery carnage
down on Earth. Although it’s not surprising, considering the fact that some of Roland
Emmerich’s movies involve a lot of CGI. The dialogues were great and
interesting. They were serious when needed be, and brought out some humour whenever
it could. The music was really good too. I enjoyed it. Overall, I think this is
a pretty good movie.
Here's the trailer:
