We always knew they'd come back... We thought we'd be ready... We had no idea. With twenty (20) years to prepare, our advancements in technology have expanded astronomically. The thing is, even with everything, there's no way we could have been prepared for this. Last time, it was as simple as infecting them with a virus to make them vulnerable to our attacks. This time they have the upper hand. As the best of the best take to the skies against these foes, you will find many recognizable faces along the way. Even though we have all of our advancements, there is something that we couldn't have been prepared for. This surprise is one that we probably couldn't face alone, an unlikely ally will help in ways that were unimaginable prior to this. Only this now opens the door for even more... Will we win this epic battle? or will this be the end of civilization as we know it? That can only be answered upon watching this epic-ly unusual sequel to Independence Day. This feels like a compilation of ideas from many other major motion pictures. There are bits and pieces that will feel out of place but as whole there is a flow to this. A surprising adventure that ends up as much as a comedy as anything else. Does is successfully add to the story, definitely, but it just doesn't live up to the hype. There is hope for it though as this gives the idea that there will be more to come... Come watch this and decide for yourself if you want to see more...

They're baaaack!! If you were expecting a fun alien flick like the first one but with higher stakes and more destruction, well here ya go. It's been 20 years since the first movie. We had to prepare for their return and did they ever return. However, the gap of Will Smith's character was definitely felt. Sure we had some flashes of him but it missed a bit without him. Their ship is roughly the size of the entire United States if not more. That's definitely bigger than the last one! The disaster portion of the movie was fun to watch and the magnitude of the invaders was definitely bigger (you'll see what I mean). Now that's what I call a close encounter! Wait...that was the first one. So, do we win again? Do we pull it off in time? We do know that We will not go quietly into the night, We won't go down without a fight..! Of course, we won't. It has its flaws but it's a fun summer alien/comedy/end of the world (again) flick. Go have fun and watch as we take them on once again. -- Kevinﾠ(5.5/10)
