Independence Day: Resurgence

[Mr. Carnelian]

We finally get an ID4 sequel and....no Will Smith?

Am I the only one thinking "Good riddance?"

I didn't think he was particularly good in Independence Day, to be honest.

Interesting! Can't wait.

Yes.

I heard Will turned down reprising his role, so... Yeah.

Who cares if it warranted a sequel or not?

The first one was awesome. The reason it did so well IMO was the humor and fun factor. I REALLY hope they don't go Chris Nolan on it and be like 'this is serious trout', and I won't end up enjoying it as much. Looking decent.

Also, Jeff Goldblum.

This being an actual thing is still hard for me to comprehend. Like, how could they make a second one? I kind of figured the ship they blew up was the whole civilization or something. Guess it makes sense it wouldnt have been though.

Whatever, I'll give it a watch.

The first film is enjoyably daft (and I very much doubt they'll be going super po-faced for this one) but in 2016 I'd rather see a new Christopher Nolan film than a new Roland Emmerich film, Independence Day was about the last decent film he made.

And I could do without unwarranted sequels, we have enough of those as it is.

They definitely implied that. But, I don't think they ever said it explicitly, so it's not like they'll be retconning by having another ship show up.

Let's be honest here: this sequel is a cash cow. They would have retconned if they'd had to. I might watch it, but what I'm expecting is a lesser version of the original. The CGI and trout will be better, but I bet the acting will be wooden and the storyline contrived.

'Twas ever thus with cash cow sequels...
