    I like the idea of our military technology being a hybrid with the alien technology. Special effects look good, too. I'm cautiously optimistic about this one.

    We always knew they'd come back.
    We did? I must have missed that memo.

    Don't know how to feel about this. A shame Will Smith won't be in it. Then again, depending how it goes, that might not be a bad thing.

    Hmmmmmmm!!

    Didn't er... didn't exactly need a sequel, this one.

    I like to think that Jeff Goldblum wouldn't have signed on if the script didn't have something going for it. I know, I know, "What about Jurassic Park 2?" but I smurfing loved that film OK?

    Eh. I think I can take it or leave it, to be honest. Independence Day really didn't need a sequel. Plus, couldn't they just use a computer virus again, and thus defeat the aliens really quickly?

    Independence Day did and did not need a sequel. On the one hand, did you really expect the Aliens, after one failed invasion, to go "Yep, looks like Earth's out of the picture. Let's move on guys!"? A sequel is almost mandatory if you look at the story.

    On the other hand, the film was so famous that any attempt at a sequel will be compared to the original, and I fear for the new movie in that case.

    Surely they must have installed an antivirus by now.

    It looks like "more of the same, except bigger". In the case of Independence Day, that's about all one needs from a sequel.

    I'm not going to anticipate it with bated breath, but I'll most likely see it and almost certainly enjoy it as a couple of hours of dumb, escapist fun.

    The original movie's going to be 20 years old when the sequel comes out. Holy crap. Mae Whitman, who played President Whitman's young daughter Patricia (as well as Yuffie in Kingdom Hearts, coincidentally) is 27 now. For some reason she's not reprising her role in Resurgence, though; the role's gone to someone five years younger instead.

    I think Mae Whitman is better off not coming back for this to be honest.

    I want to see this so bad and I don't even care. The first movie was 100% my childhood.

    Also, Jeff Goldblum.
