Good Movie; not the same without Will Smith.Verified purchase
It was disappointing that Will Smith could not reprise his role from the first time. However, seeing some new people as well as the original cast made the film interesting. Brent Spiner was funny. Overall. I enjoyed the movie and will probably watch it again.

Definitely worth watchingVerified purchase
I was sick this Independence day and couldn't celebrate the way I had planned. Instead I watched the Independence Day films while my family enjoyed the day out celebrating. I can't recall if I watched the second one when it came out, however I did like it. I do hope they eventually come out with a third. Especially, with the way they left the second. In sure they can do better for those that were complaining.

Enjoyed WatchingVerified purchase
I was always hesitant about buying this movie because of the reviews. However, I didn't think it was that bad. I enjoyed watching it although it seemed a bit hard to follow at times. Good special effects. I think the first one was better but I enjoyed this one as well.

Entertaining but not nearly as good as the first film. Sometimes it’s better not to make a sequel.

Today I learned that a big action movie can be boring
TL;DR: It was actually boring. There was a story here that had potential but it was let down by terrible acting, bad dialog, no story or character development at all and, ultimately, no soul to this one.
3 points for above average special effects, -7 for just an awful movie. Netflix this one.
Edition watched: 3D IMAX
In 1996's Independence Day, Bill Pullman's speech hit you emotionally somewhere. Even if that emotion was disgust, you had a reaction. All of Will Smith's one liners made you cringe or laugh. No matter how much you may deny it publicly, Randy Quaid's end put a lump in your throat the first time you saw it. There was soul to that movie, even though it was an ensemble cast, characters were developed, the story progressed and there were heroes you cheered for and aliens you despised.
None of that was present in 2016's Independence Day. All the new actors were either bad or terrible. I didn't care if the aliens won or lost. Not only were the new actors bad but some of the dialog they were forced to work with was just terrible. Jessie T. Usher's character has a few key lines that are supposed to hearken back to those emotional one liners from Will Smith in 1996, such as: "Welcome to Earth!". Yet Usher delivered those lines in such a deadpan, soulless way that made me wonder if he thought he was supposed to be playing an emotionless android. Then you have my favorite emotionless android actor Brent Spiner, who is someone I know to be a quality actor, yet the dialog and scenes with him were so bad I had to wonder for a second if all his previous work was done by a twin.
I could go on, but the acting and dialog were just parts of the problem. There was no character development at all. They simply tried to cram too much into this movie. From the constant pandering to a Mainland Chinese audience (unnecessary scenes that should have been used for any kind of plot or character development) to Vivica A. Fox's minuscule screen time, there was too much shoved into this 120 min movie which ended up making it a big mess that went nowhere. In the end, I formed no attachment to any of the new characters and was detached from old characters that I once cheered for.
The most damning thing though is, despite all the explosions and this alien invasion, there was no excitement. I was bored. There was a girl in front of me texting and using FB messenger and I found myself involuntarily lifting my 3D glasses and reading her text chain and messenger thread till I caught myself and put my glasses back on. Her inane chatter about how boring this movie was, her cat, the guy she was sitting next to and so forth were more interesting to me than the movie on the huge IMAX screen was.
As a huge fan of alien invasion movies, I walked out feeling like this was such a huge opportunity wasted. If you told me the basic story of this move yesterday, I would've been ecstatic to see a trilogy. Now I hope the 3rd one dies in production and they put the money to a Battle Los Angeles 2.
