Independence Day: Resurgence 2/10
What made the first Independence Day enjoyable was the slow build up and then fantastic special effects, this dreadful sequel has none of that. What we get here is terrible acting and dialogue particularly from Deobia Oparei and Jessie T. Usher. Then we have the special effects which are mostly a CGI mess, it's hard to believe we now have to sit through films that look much worse than the ones from 20 years ago. I know that ID was cheesy but I think it was mostly in the 2nd half of the film and it was more carefully placed, this sequel is continually cheesy from the word go right the way through it's two hour running time. So Roland Emmerich waits 20 years to give us this crap, I had really low expectations but it couldn't even meet them...the only positives is that the aliens looked good and I laughed once.
