At least it’s a bad movie that had some original thought put into it instead of just completely rehashing its predecessor, and looks good enough to be worth every cent of its $200 million budget. But is that enough?
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/independence-day-resurgence-review/1100-6441069/ "Like Jurassic World before it, Resurgence is a throwback that feels like a slightly off-key greatest hits. Credit where it’s due, it works overtime to outstrip the effects-driven extravaganza of the first, but it feels like it loses the point along the way
Like its predecessor, Independence Day: Resurgence is a 50s B-movie writ extra-large. Critics who railed against the original film’s pulpy sensibility will probably find themselves enraged all over again. For the rest of us, Independence Day: Resurgence is another goofily entertaining July the 4th fireworks display." 4 out of 5 stars. Alright so beginning to think FOX fucked up here.....
http://loaded.co.uk/independence-day-resurgence-review/ ★★★☆☆ "Resurgence works because, like most of Emmerich’s movies, its acutely aware that it’s over the top nonsense and embraces that. It’s fun and engaging and, clocking in at two hours, doesn’t outstay its welcome."
