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 …
The first Independence Day film is still very much an American patriotastic flick. But the sequel is going to tone down the USA fervour somewhat.
In other year besides 2016, a sequel to Independence Day would possibly be the blockbuster highlight of the year. Thanks to the sensory onslaught of massive movies released this year though, Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day: Resurgence appears to just have been lost in the shuffle lately.

Most Hollywood disaster movies get it completely wrong (here’s looking at you Roland Emmerich). They build a terribly unscientific premise around some superficial disaster and then require you to switch your brain off while some poorly developed characters come up with ludicrous and implausible ways of averting said disaster and leaving you feeling completely underwhelmed at the end.

It’s the fact that for the first time ever, this was a movie that showed off just how screwed humanity would be if intelligent life ever decided …
Usually when Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, 2012, The Day After Tomorrow) makes a movie about an event that changes the world, said event is filled with tons of CGI explosions, massive natural disasters and Barack Obama’s house getting destroyed. But with Stonewall the filmmaker is changing dramatic gears, leaving behind his summer blockbuster stylings to tell of a critical moment …
It’s taken nearly 20 years, but the Independence Day sequel is nearly here (my procrastination skills ain’t got nothing on those aliens!). In the early hours of this morning, 20th Century Fox gathered director Roland Emmerich and his primary cast – which includes Jessie Usher, Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A.
