Independence Day Resurgence.
Not a patch on the brilliantly hokey original. Suffers from what I call VERY LOUD NOISE syndrome, which is what I call it when a sequel comes along and you can tell they had one or two story board sequences instead of a plot or characters.
No build up of tension. Brent Spiner's character is now a moron instead of eccentric. Will Smith is largely irreplaceable so they just don't bother trying. Important things that are missing... human impact, drama, and probably most crucially fun.
Some impressive moments and the part 3 setup sounds intriguing.
Not as disappointingly mediocre as the dreadfully unambitious Jurassic World but a pale imitation of the original.
2/5
