Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)



"You peed your pants?" -Jake Morrison
"-Yeahhh" -David Levinson

I really don't want to talk about this.  ID:2 just doesn't deserve my time, energy, or interest. I believe this. But, like a bureaucrat who must follow the rules no matter what, I watched this fetid sock; therefore I have to write this review.

I do not recommend ID:Resurgence for anyone with eyes or ears. (This includes animals.)

I found nothing about it redeeming. Terrible script. Clunker of a plot. Painful acting. Laughable effects, and just a soul sucking denouement.

I forgive a few actors for being in this clown car without wheels -Brent Spiner and Jeff Goldblum. That's really it.

*I think this is a recurring theme, but I smell the unmistakable scent of corporate marketing in this film. They wanted ID:2 to sell tickets in China. Therefore, they included a Chinese commander and a beautiful Chinese space pilot with a hack love story. -I am in favor of broadening the scope and target audiences of films.  Everyone should watch foreign films, but I dislike the taste of blatant corporate decision making in what should be art. ^So I guess, I'm okay with this........because ID: 2 is not art.*

On a scale of gum on my shoe to kissing a heavy smoker, I give Independence Day: Resurgence 1.1 out of 5 stars.
