Today marks an Independence Day not many thought would actually happen, as Britain’s vote to exit the European Union has created a worldwide fever of anxiety. Fix that,Jeff Goldblum! But in the meantime we can cast our cares away inLiam Hemsworth’s piercing eyeswithIndependence Day: Resurgence, which premieres in time to get Americans ready to celebrateourindependence from Britain. Full circle, really.
Inher review, our very own Perri Nemiroff said:
“Aliens arrive, the odds are against us, and we must come together and fight for our freedom – not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from annihilation. For the most part,Independence Day: Resurgenceis just that, butRoland Emmerichis completely consumed by the all too familiar sequel pitfalls of going bigger, adding more guns, more explosions, more chase sequences, more mythology, etc. and the overabundance of overcomplicated and completely hollow nonsense sucks the fun out of the film.”
Sound off in the comments below on what you thought of the movie, which also starsBill Pullman, andVivica A. Fox. But first, peruse some of our recent ID4-2 (as some will say) content, and take a step back in time to the veryfirsttrailer for this highly anticipated sequel, which debuted way back yonder in 2015.
