The first two trailers weren’t big enough. Today a FIVE MINUTE trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence has been unveiled. The first film hasn’t aged terribly well, but I have to say, this will at least LOOK spectacular. I do love that Roland Emmerich is so aware of his penchant for squashing landmarks that he worked it into the script, ID42 will open on June 24, 2016. Plot synopsis below.
We always knew they were coming back. After INDEPENDENCE DAY catastrophe on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.
The first one was a fun time at the movies, and to be fair, most films don’t age all that well. Even the original Star Wars has the guy with the mutton chops, and even the Wizard of Oz has the part where the Tin Man says, “That’s you all over.” Back in the day, a film like ID was still a huge event, and I’m feeling the nostalgia. I don’t need a five minute trailer to get me to see this movie, and so I’m not going to watch it. I’d rather be surprised (for example, I don’t want to know exactly how the new film will parallel the old one). It’s a shame Will Smith is not involved, but I once heard him point out in an interview that most of the biggest hit films of all time have had creatures in them, and those were wise words. As long as IDR has aliens destroying landmarks, I’m confident it will be… wait for it… awesome. And Jeff Goldblum never hurts.

I’m going purely to hear Jeff Goldblum’s dialiect. He’s the heir to Chris Walken.
