Thing is, Independence Day is one of those movies with not much of an expanded universe. There’s a two decade gap …
I’m quite excited about the new Independence Day: Resurgence movie – the follow-up to 1995’s Independence Day. Yes, it’s your typical Roland Emmerich film with not much of a plot, but the first was absolutely packed with fun and this sequel is looking to have more of the same. Except only now the aliens aren’t messing around in trying to get …
