Independence Day: Resurgence - May Be The Dumbest Movie Ever Made

The Roland Emmerich sequel to 1996's classic action blockbuster Independence Day, Resurgence takes everything fun about the original and promptly dumps it, replacing it with an incoherent plot, terrible characters, meaningless action and over the top disaster scenes. The result is quite possibly the dumbest movie ever made.

[@DeepEye1994]

I mean, spiritually you could kinda see "Ender's Game" as a loose sequel to Independence Day, since it opens with a narration that explains that an alien invasion got stopped when a pilot bravely sacrificed himself by ramming his own plane into the mothership making it blow up. There's a twist regarding the heroic pilot in "Ender's Game", but in this sequel to ID4 I could just separate it and give the role to Will Smith's character.

@@DeepEye1994 Holy sh#t your right. I sort of did something similar with the original halo series (halo wars-3). That mass effect was the "real" sequel (just replace "Taurin" with "covenant/elites" and the rest fits perfectly.) While the board game warhammer 40k, is the aftermath of ME3 "destroy" ending.

If your alien civilization has the ability to travel between stars and do so in only a matter of years, you by necessity also have the energy needed to fry the Earth's surface, either with a big laser or some kind of relativistic kinetic weapon (in fact, they could literally just dump their garbage in the Earth's direction while flying past it at near light speed and it would have the same effect as setting off all of Earth's nuclear arsenal simultaneously, except without the radioactive fallout). If all the aliens wanted was the Earth's core, there was no reason they had to invade when they could have simply sterilized the Earth from space, then they could just scoop out the core at their leisure without any resistance.

Like with Jeff here, he just does exactly the same stuff he always does with seemingly no complexity or much thought going into it, just the same mannerisms and character personality each time. This doesn't mean it's always as bad as this thought. Right now I'm watching Curb Your Enthusiasm and Larry David as Larry David is just fantastic, much more complex and interesting a character so even if you've seen him doing the character so many times he still nails it, and it always feels like a character and doesn't feel like the the actor just showed up and was told to just be himself like there's not any meat to his character on its own and Jeff's personality is the only thing when they try to sell the character to us as a audience.

The thing that always killed me about this movie was that the premise of it as presented in the trailers was actually intriguing and made sense. It has taken humanity decades to sort through the wreckage of these massive alien ships that they shot down (makes enough sense to me). And after years of sorting through alien technology and trying to figure out what it all is, they stumble upon an active beacon (makes enough sense to me). Naturally, they call David to investigate given that he brought down the aliens the first time and understands them better than anyone (makes enough sense to me). David analyzes the beacon and discovers that it’s sending an interstellar signal to the alien home world, and they’re about to be invaded again by an even bigger force (makes enough sense to me). That is a cool setup for a sequel. It had a chance to be good. They just horrendously botched the execution of it.

To be fair I remember pretty clearly that the aliens had hijacked into earth's telecommunications in order to learn what was the most important places on earth. In order for their operating system to be able to even understand the telecom of earth's data packets it would need to be compatible with the instruction set. Once that compatibility is in application then it means vulnerabilities exist... The only alternative here is that the aliens used some kind of virtual closed off operating system and I feel like that's not something I would think about if I was them to be honest. We have to remember here that in order to even inject the computer virus they had to enter the mothership, which required using one of the aliens own ships to even pull that off. I could definitely imagine the general talking to a subordinate, "Sir what if we get a virus from interfacing with the xeno scum technology?" "What a stupid question!

I decided to watch this movie on a whim when I walked past the movie theater on premiere day. This was 5 minutes before the movie started. The girls in the ticket booth laughed at me when I asked if there was any seats left. I quickly realized why when I came into the theater: I was the only person there.

Same thing happened to me and my buddy when we went to see Conan the Barbarian remake, the one with The Rock as Conan, it was so bad

I'm not an actual physicist, I am merely an engineer.... but yes, you are 100% correct about what that much off center mass would do to Earth. It would in fact pull the whole planet into an egg shape, thus causing earth shattering quakes (as the tectonic plates literally shattered), leveling everything on that side of the planet (except directly under it, but that area certainly wouldn't get off light either). So yes,: One side would immediately turn into a volcanic hell scape with above hurricane winds and ridiculous tsunamis, and the other side would be exposed to [almost] the vacuum of space.... All in all, not a good day for Earthlings.

Or the alien can turn the ship side way and stab north America with one of legs.

[@stephengrigg5988]

It cracked me up that you called Liam Hemsworth discount chris Hemsworth because he's actually his brother

[@garrick5873]

Yes, he knows this. The joke he is making is that when producers want Chris but he won't sign on/can't afford him they go to his brother instead.

The fact that there isn't even a statue dedicated to Russell Casse, the guy who flew his jet into the laser weapon and destroyed the first war-ship (who was played by Randy Quaid) is a crime that more than justifies this film being unwatchable.

[@Odious_One]

Well Randy Quaid was black listed from HollyWeird so there is no way he'd even get a movie statue.

[@whispersinthewind965]

You mean the same guy that told everyone aliens were coming to destroy the earth and nobody believed him. Then after aliens do invade everybody still looks at this guy like he is a crazy idiot?

Ever seen "The Day the Earth Stood Still?" The original was a well-made, thought-provoking film. The remake was a clusterfuck. Might be a perfect way to show how film making has gone straight to Hell over the years.

In Spaceballs Mel Brooks’ says “See you in Spaceballs 2 - the search for more cash”. This poke at Hollywood shows why films like this exist. Recently the same can be said of every shit reboot also.

[@madmanarrivednow]

I think, Bill Pullman was in the sequel because he thought he was cast for Spaceballs 2: the search for more cash. He was on search for more cash, there was a space ball in the script. I guess I'ts like Bill Murray and Garfield. Wrong Co(h)en, Bill, wrong one.

I had always thought a good sequel would have been a claustrophobic film of a group of soldiers and scientists exploring one of the down ships. Battling surviving aliens discovering some dark secrets etc. Instead we got this….
