INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE Clip - "Air Battle" (2016)

If anything, this should've been the final battle, have the Legacy Squadron fight the Harvester's mothership, while the Queen launches a separate assault on Area 51. And, before that, have a few smaller battles here and there.

i honestly think that this movie would've been better off in a seperate franchise interly, it's own in my opinion. it had potential and lots of it honestly. the tech was interesting, and the idea itself was amazing, an story to tell honestly. i would've honestly watched movies comprised of these exact scenes, sadly i know that this is supposed to be an remake of I-day, when watching this. just the classic hollywood blockbuster flaws made it an plotless sinful mess, but i honestly think that the story of this movie had potential. and what i mean exactly is. the first original I-day was an story about an alien race invanding earth, and destroying iconic landmarks, and such. there were many message within it, but at it's heart it was just that, an alien movie. and what i mean with the potential the sequel had, was just the universe it created with the lore beheind the aliens, the fallen worlds, humanity as a whole after this attack. it could've honestly been another iconic new-time franchise. (sadly thats never gonna be lol, really sad tho, wish i could see more of these scenes in movies that are there own

The next step up to fighters and small craft would be something along the lines of Raiders, Frigates and Tactical Escorts, like a Klingon B'rel Bird-of-Prey, the Romulan T'varo Light Warbird, and a Federation Defiant-Class Tactical Escort (ships along the sizes of the ones listed). I'm using Star Trek and Star Trek Online references, btw. I would think that the firepower of a Klingon Bird-of-Prey (Disruptor Dual Heavy Cannons) would have a little more punch than what a fighter would have. They'd have a bit more range than the fighters, and could take out those massive turrets. Plus, the ships mentioned would also carry shields strong enough to tank the turrets for at least 3 minutes. Larger ships (such as the cruisers), unfortunately, would be too big to enter the atmosphere to engage the colony ship. Unfortunately, this is treading into cross-universe territory. With that being said, I would love to imagine the USS Defiant diving in and doing a full Phaser Quad Cannon barrage as it flies by the turrets, and evades the majority of the plasma bolts fired at her.

​@Ba'al I get that sentiment and you're right, with the way Hollywood is any continuation would suck. But the franchise as a whole still has PLENTY of room to expand if it had the right team. This film should have been a "coming of age" film for the next generation, having grown up in the shadow of their parents struggle as they fight to live up to that legacy and forge their own. It would end similarly with humanity learning of a wider struggle against the Queens and that the Queens are winning. Armed with new technologies, humanity is charged with leading the resistance against them as the third movie begins with humanity taking the fight to the Queens to aid another world that's being destroyed. There was such potential for this to become a decent sci-fi series if bad writing hadn't gotten in the way.

While I’ll admit this film had NOTHING on the original, I still liked it, mainly for the fact that THIS wave was a proper MILITARY wave of Aliens, whereas the one in the first movie was just a mining ship. This is illustrated by the more advanced tech, greater display of military force, and the overall smart design of simply having point defence guns on your capital ship. This latter point is what hits it home for me, as a kid I never questioned why the city destroyers in the first movie didn’t have point defence guns to shoot down the planes, instead relying solely on their attack fighters to counter the planes. As an adult, and an avid player of Stellaris, I now know how important point defence is for capital ships, and it boggled my mind, after rewatching the first film, that they didn’t have point defence on the big ships… I mean, that’s like, military design 101. So the idea that the first wave was just a mining group, and not actually expected to go up against a credible military threat, makes so much sense, and fixes that plot hole for me. So yea, the first Independence Day will always be superior in my eyes, to this, but I can at least appreciate this film’s attempt at expanding the lore and filling in gaps from the first film.

[@buragi5441]

Wrong. This is supposed to be the mining ship, the one in the first film was the military.

[@commandercritic9036]

@@buragi5441 pretty sure the one in THIS film is the military ship, I’m almost certain it’s brought up at one point in this film, that the ones who came before were not outfitted for extensive combat, and so only had the bare minimum of military equipment, a far cry from this ship, with point defence guns.

[@Saiyan0X]

@@commandercritic9036 Probably because they didnt attack the mothership in the first movie, so we dont know if that one had defenses too. Remember in the first movie the City Destroyers were the ones being attacked by the humans, but the mothership was in orbit. In this one, it's the mothership the one that descended to the planet.

[@commandercritic9036]

@@Saiyan0X hmmm, okay you have a point, but I would say the very reason that the first mothership DIDN’T descend to the planet’s surface is yet MORE proof that the first wave was a mining expedition (with military personnel along for the ride). And even if that was NOT the case, it is clear the first mothership was more vulnerable than the second, being a different design, so even if it was military the two waves had different strategies. The first was patient and calculating, aligning everything up just perfectly, before a sudden and decapitating strike, designed to cripple the leadership of the natives. But for this strategy to work, you need to hit lots of different places at once across the globe, so a single ship isn’t gonna cut it. So instead, the mothership releases a multitude of smaller vessels (which also happen to be the vessels they’ll use to mine later, I mean, make the most out of what you have am I right), to carry out the individual strikes. As David explains in the first movie however, this requires that all the ships be able to communicate with each other, even on opposite sides of the globe. The Mothership is the hub for this communication, the aliens hijack our satellites, sending messages up to them, which are then forwarded to the Mothership, which sends them on to a different satellite, so as to reach the intended recipient of the message. There’s a fatal flaw in this strategy however. If anything happens to the Mothership, all of the City Destroyers are suddenly cut off from one another on a hostile planet, which of course is exactly what happens, and as a result, the remaining City Destroyers turtle up and begin calling for help. With this is mind, it makes a lot of sense, for the first Mothership to stay in orbit, where its more difficult, if not IMPOSSIBLE for the Natives to reach it, I mean, why risk dangling your Achilles Heel where the enemy can strike it? Knowing this, it’s then logical to assume, that because this PARTICULAR force of these aliens, specialise in a strategy that keeps the Mothership out of harms way, it wouldn’t normally need Point Defence, and we don’t really see any evidence for such weapons while following David and Steven (Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith’s characters respectively) through the Mothership. This however STILL does not explain why the CITY DESTROYERS did not have point defence, if they were part of a MILITARY expedition, ESPECIALLY if their the ones taking the risk of putting themselves in the hostile territory. Now the second Mothership, has a completely different strategy, bold, blunt and to the point, “YOUR PLANET BELONGS TO ME NOW!” There’s no careful alignment of assets, no meticulous plan, it’s just get in, kill everything. The second wave doesn’t even have multiple ships, just one great BIG one, so now, it makes sense to have a lot of armour, and other defences to protect the ship at all costs, since it’s going to be in the firing line. Don’t get me wrong, your point is valid, but even if the first wave was military, surely there’d be evidence of more active defences like point defence on the Mothership (for what we are shown in the first movie, there is very clearly none), and at the very LEAST there should be point defence on the CITY DESTROYERS, the ones who are in the most danger. The fact that we don’t see any of that, suggests the aliens are either SUPREMELY arrogant, and rely far too much on their shields and overwhelming fighter numbers… or… the first wave WASN’T military.

How come the special effects look better in the first one? Or is it just me?

[@recht_voor_zijn_raap5506]

The original used both practical and CGI.. Just look up how they made the exploding cities and White House scenes all miniatures. This movie is all CGI. It immediately shows

[@MrMoorkey]

80-90% practical FX enhanced with CG in the original. This is a bunch of video game CGI.

[@da-enemy-AC-130-above]

Is it just me, or do the planes look like upgraded SU-57s?

[@N-L3]

SU-75's

[@Mocking69]

宇宙船がデカすぎる♨

[@Fudge-picker]

CGI over saturation makes it harder to suspend disbelief somehow

[@elisabethvilcot865]

Overdose de déjà vu

[@pusheenthecat9264]

I like how they forgot guided bombs / missiles exist

[@chef2042]

They thought the guns would be enough

[@curious5887]

True, but missile and guided missile won't do much if there's shield and point defense guns, plus, that EMP traps

[@JackMacLupus]

1:25 Me: I'm getting Pearl Harbor flashbacks for that oncoming move... Will they...???" "BREAK LEFT!" "Yep, they will!" XD

[@syafiqanis]

The aliens technology is so advance. They cuts the engine but not cutting their communication. Smart shockwave i presume.

I loved this movie

[@abdiasmelendez9306]

I love this video because the battle, explosion and the Jets 😲😲😲😲😲😲😎😎😎😎😎😎🌟🌟

You never saw the original did you? This is subpar at best

[@thegreatjedi309]

@@omegaerwin5417 I saw the original and I think this is better, this one is a legit scifi space battle between two factions of a similar tech level, at least between the fighters.

@@omegaerwin5417 Remember the first battle of the original? The plasma lasers hitting the F-18's made the most realistic explosion I've ever seen.

@1:21 the US flag on the right side of his helmet means 'retreat', .....I still had positive thoughts for this movie sequel up until this particulate moment. The military adviser on this movie, if there was one must of been payed in peanuts/dirt cheap.

[@yonatanschlussel]

This movie is basically if someone wrote a continuation fanfiction of the first movie

[@juantenorio7772]

Exacto

[@Mmouse_]

That was some pretty bargain basement acting wth?

[@ccflava]

It could have been a great movie, it could have been a really great movie. There is no problem with visual effects and designs. Certain problems in the script and editing ruined the movie.

[@sleezsquad904n8]

Omg it’s A train 😂

26years later, I'm crying as first times

[@djmindcrasher]

Good troll

[@ReallyBadSeed]

Easily one of the worst films ever, but with some of the best FX.

[@NeptuneNoire]

The designs of the planes were the absolute best in this movie. The only high point.

[@juancarlosrodriguezmedina6354]

the jets are very similar to those of Macross pluss, the same type of fuselage and curved tip wings, the difference is that they do not transform into batle armor

[@justsavv6378]

also remind me of the SU 57

[@rilly1489]

omg the acting and scenario is so comical.

[@a_random_5545]

Too bad the ship didn't have a small crack that if shot at it destroys the whole ship... oh wait

[@adammclaughlin845]

Computer game sequels: frequently brilliant (or at least, they used to be) Movie sequels: wtf even is this shit

[@Ailikor]

Those new planes look really slow

[@deqnq1705]

maybe they have a low stall speed (the point where the wings stop producing aerodynamic lift)

[@samanli-tw3id]

They use repulsorlifts

[@koolaidskhaos4158]

Good flying peeps

[@babablacksheep506]

Question…. Why aren’t the using missiles??

[@blacktronpavel]

I really wanted to like this movie, but was asking myself "Why?" after. This may have been a better game than a movie.

[@95thRiflesOCI]

0:34 first pass and only the aliens shoot

[@CompletelyNormalHuman]

Unpopular opinion: I don’t hate this movie. It’s dumb but fun

[@jehoiakimelidoronila5450]

ONE plot hole: dawg, WHERE'S *MISSILES*

[@taktuscat4250]

Agreed! Managed to have the exotic propulsion but no single tomahawk or sidewinder in sight 🤣

[@Saiyan0X]

@@taktuscat4250 Probably because direct energy weapons pack a bigger punch than missiles against shielded fighters?

@@Saiyan0X Plasma missiles. Or whatever energy based weapons used on the fighters.

Homing tech go BYBYE

[@nothingtoseehere2079]

Honestly those Fighters and Bombers have a perfect combination of American and Russian Designs. Another thing that I thought about watching this movie was what do the Aliens think of our technology after exterminating tons other races

[@Jinx1349]

I would love a series like stargate just within the independece day univers. But after this failure it ain't going to happen.

[@albay543]

I quite like this movie

[@squallofthedai]

I'm sorry

[@albay543]

Why are you sorry

[@avanstrash6149]

the fighter plane looks slow for something that's supposed to be advanced....

[@Watch_over_us]

I love how the human ships have the same firing sound as the heavyarms gundam gattling gun

[@Mattz175XD]

Mabye they have a better chance of winning that if the bombers have laser cannons to defend them self then h-8 defend them

[@albay543]

I agree
