You guys should really react to "Fury" with Brad Pitt, Jon Bernthal and Shia Labeouf. Awesome movie. Some unrealistic scenes, but the chemistry between the actors is off the charts. Think you'd like it.

[@LegitPineappleFilms]

[@mysteriousowen5205]

I hope you guys can survive watching The Beatles: Yellow Submarine Movie

[@muhammadmusab5465]

Need fast 9

[@werdle92]

This movie did one thing i loved. When I was a kid, i always wondered about the crashed ships, and how they probably had some surviving aliens. So the whole bit with the african warlords who fought a ground war against them, I thought that was the coolest part.

[@simpleanarchy]

I believe the novel tie-in to the 1st movie opens with the aftermath of the aliens defeat and human ground forces trying to clear one of the downed city-sized saucers. The rest of the novel is a prequel of sorts, dealing with the original crash of the alien fighter in the 1950's.

[@Brian25091]

This is an interesting fact. Roland Emmerich hates this movie. He hated making this movie. He had the whole other script built around Will Smith's character but due to scheduling, Will had to go film Suicide Squad. Roland was going to shelve it and wait for him to finish but the studio said no and forced him to do the movie anyway. He then sits down and rewrites the whole entire script into what the movie is now. Jeff Goldblum was once asked as to why he signed onto the film and if my memory is correct, I believe his answer was "Money".

[@L_Lawliet1907]

At least he was honest

[@Brian25091]

@Jurassic Hero Yep there was. I have no idea where you can find it. I'm sure Roland still has it, haven't heard anything about it leaking so you probably won't see it. Roland will either put it out there for the masses to read or it will get leaked or never come out. You can try googling it but I doubt you will have any luck.

[@Brian25091]

@Jurassic Hero Yeah. Some of this version of the movie had it's moments and cool visuals but the whole hive mind and planet drill ship is a bit too much for me, since you didn't even hear about anything like that in the first. The only reason why all the ships failed in the first was cause they destroyed the mother ship in space and planted a virus, it wasn't linked to the beings themselves. You can tell how badly it was put together that it wasn't his original idea and clearly wasn't thought out. He just wrote it to put it out there. The movie bombed cause of how bad the script was, yet the studio made it that way by forcing him to rewrite it.

[@80MWH]

Pretty much the same reason Speed 2 exists.

[@enterthekyuubi]

Will wanted $50 million for the film. Fox said "lol. Nah" and they decided to kill off his character.

[@sebastiancawsey5024]

"Communications disruption, can mean only one thing..." I love that reference to SW E1, fits so well, especially since the next word was "invasion."

Hello boys! I’m back!

[@JamesBerg]

Even though it's flawed, I still liked this movie (not nearly as much as the first, but that's a given). I would still love to see a third film to finish off the franchise. Great reaction!

[@simona_merkinin]

Yeah, same. I'm not a movie expert, I'm just a simple person. Maybe the movie wasn't very well critically acclaimed or something like that, I still liked it. From an ordinary person pov it's good. I had a good time watching the first one, and this was no exception. I really wonder why it's not loved as much. For example, the movie Dune, which was praised so much, actually really disappointed me. Now that was boring

[@RYMAN1321]

This is why I say never end a film on a cliffhanger, because nothing is a given afterwards. There was plans for a third film but after this one failed to make as much money they scrapped it

[@zir456]

Sorry but this movie very bad and honestly Their win make no sense so having third movie wouldn't make any sense if the one coming next would had much much higher tech but still commanded by braindead Alien like the Queen in this second Movie but the First Movie quite good bcz the Alien lose still okay🙈🙈🙈 this second one Plot Armour very, very thick and if theres a third movie with even more Invasion, It would be Trash Writing if Earth not destroyed🥴🤨

Sonic 2 is one of my favourite movies and I loved watching it.

[@AceofDymonds]

Yikes. I'm pretty sure I saw this movie in the theater when it came out, and then completely forgot everything about it. Rewatching highlights of it here . . . that actually makes perfect sense. What a bland, forgettable movie. The effects are certainly impressive on a technical level and quite a spectacle, but nothing completely in their own league, and the story it's hanging on is so derivative and soulless that none of it leaves an impact.

[@unknownsaysme2918]

[@Im_Ish]

Man, watching this reaction makes me hate this movie less. I wish I could've watched it the way you guys are now. Just having fun and not really over-analyzing it. When I watched it in theaters when it premiered I was so disappointed.

[@ArturZmienko]

42:38 2012 and day after tomorrow are both made by Emmerich but he did other movies after Independence Day (ID for short) for example Patriot , 10000 BC or White house down wich have very different vibes then ID

[@theawesomeman9821]

Happy Independence Day🎉

[@jonasquinn7977]

I always get a little annoyed at disaster movies because they almost always destroy London despite typically bing set in the US, it’s like they want to destroy somewhere Americans will recognise but nowhere that is actually in America

[@jonasquinn7977]

@C K there are plenty of recognisable cities in the US, I think they just don’t want to risk making people think of 9/11

[@Depth217]

Emmerich did tear up North America primarily in Day After Tomorrow, and had stuff like Yellowstone and the tectonic plate in 2012.

[@scarlettmi]

It's a sequel to Independence Day which famously and iconically blew up all of New York, Los Angeles, and Washington DC already.

[@pmmcrobb]

This movie was exactly how I imagined a sequel to ID4, back when it came out, when I was 10. Turns out, movie ideas from when you were 10 don't translate that great to the big screen.

[@Depth217]

I remember kinda liking it on the first viewing. But maaaan it really fell off because it’s just bad and boring. Wastes a lot of interesting ideas and is glutted with some of the worst Emmerich has to offer. The few good things are Jeff Goldblum, his character’s dad (seriously that guy barely aged compared to the rest of the cast), and Dr. Okun. They got waaaaay too confident sequels would be made. Sigh.

[@RYMAN1321]

Yeah that hurts the film more. It setup for another sequel but it’s now all for nothing because it was cancelled due to its underperformance

[@MrDyl666]

[@MoviesAndTvShowsAreSubjective]

Four weeks later on youtube..now on patreon

[@TheRoyalFino]

Roland Emmerich is just not a great director and a subpar writer. Even movies like Stargate and Independence Day had script problems that are overshadowed by the movies being products of the time, excellent casts, unique ideas/visuals and great special effects. Emmerich's last solid movie, White House Down, benefited from being a bit self-aware. Emmerich didn't get a writing credit on White House Down or The Patriot. He's not a good writer. This film was missing Will Smith badly but I don't blame him given how the movie was written. They needed another legitimate star actor. There was also lots of obvious call-backs to the first movie, to the point of it being just straight up ripping off itself. Maybe when we become nostalgic for 90s movies Roland will find his place again but he's just been making the same cheap lazy-written movies for 20 years.

[@ThatGrumpyOldBastard]

What bothers me most about Emmerich is what he has in common with Ridley Scott: BITTER ENVY. After getting into his disaster movie rut post-ID4 where he just recycled the same movie with different natural disasters, Emmerich suddenly became dead set on rebooting Stargate in HIS vision cause he didn't like what the SG-1 series changed to HIS clealy WAY better original. Either igorant or unwilling to accept that it was the series that built the entire fandom around the franchise, not his original movie which, while enjoyable, was very much a product of it's time and only went skin deep. SG-1 changed things for the sake of actual worldbuilding that went beyond just a two hour 90's action flick. And yet it came as a surprise to Emmerich nobody wanted his reboot of a beloved franchise that span almost 15 years. Ridley Scott had this with the Alien franchise, going so far as to claim anything that wasn't HIS non-canon, wiping the slate clean of over 30 years of media. But let's not open that particular pet Peeve Pandora's box or I'll be here all day. Envy is an ugly thing. It's ugly when you are capable of delivering incredible work, it's ugly when all you deliver is shlock.

[@johnaldridge83]

Moonfall was pretty good. It's up there with Independence Day for me.

[@MagicCardboardBox]

It's not the worst film I've ever seen

[@DarthDragon007]

Calvin, the reason the tug couldn't escape the Mothership's gravity well is because it was far more powerful than Earth's gravity well and the tug was tuned to Earth's gravity not the ship's. Basically the tug's propulsion was too weak, at least without the Fusion Drive and that would destroy the tug and kill the occupants.

[@simontheconner]

Still waiting for Independence Day: Ground War.

[@ernestoorozco9766]

Ive heard that the director would like to make a tv series for disney plus

[@adamraddish]

I really do hope they make a 3rd movie

[@RYMAN1321]

Sadly, it was scrapped due to this film not being as successful at the box office as the 1996 film. The original made $817 million but Resurgence only made $389 million. It made less than half so it’s no surprise they aborted any plans for another film

[@omega311888]

[@thelightison4205]

The Fast and Furious movies actually make money, this movie was a gigantic bomb in the box office. Including marketing costs, it likely lost the studio over 100 million dollars.

[@bethanyromano2740]

I met Brent Spiner and actually asked him about it. At the time when I met him, Disney was acquiring 20th Century Fox....so naturally his answer was depended if Disney wanted to pick up another sequel. Found out a year ago that the 3rd movie was cancelled because this movie didn't do that well in the box office.

[@RYMAN1321]

@@bethanyromano2740Correct When you factor in how much the original made in 1996 and the sequel made in 2016, the difference is staggering. The original made $817 million but Resurgence only made $389 million. It made less than half, and that’s not even counting inflation

[@RYMAN1321]

It was cancelled because this one failed to make as much money as the first

[@Jasta85]

The issue with this movie is that, they have all this super advanced alien tech, and use it in the worst ways. Having men on the ground firing small laser rifles at super fast/agile alien fighters is dumb, for the same reason you don't have people trying to shoot down fighter jets with assault rifles, you'll never hit them unless they hover right in front of you. their missiles worked fine in the first movie they just couldn't get past the shields, upgrade missiles to be able to pierce shields, or create shields of your own. It also missed the whole point of the first movie, which was fighting off a massively advanced alien race with modern day technology. When humans suddenly have laser weapons and moon turrets, it feels more like a bog standard sci fi movie rather than one set in modern day.

[@Pinkielover]

Would really like a third one Even though this one wasn't that great Still entertaining..Lots of potential if they really do it right have alot of it off World
