Resurgence is not the charm, or the masterpiece sequel, failing to catch the magic, and the humor. It's below average, a disappointment, and a very forgettable sequel from the fans of the first film. 20 years, they prepare......too late.

I'm declaring it's a bad sequel to the masterpiece classic 1996 sci-fi disaster film, and ID4 was one of the greatest films from Emmerich, and it was a Return of the Jedi or a Endgame-wannabe film, but this film, is just a Force Awakens wannabe film.

The film follows the original, and thee new characters as Independence Day nears, satellite engineer David Levinson investigates a 3,000-mile-wide mother ship that is approaching Earth. Fortunately, twenty years earlier, nations across the world started to use recovered extraterrestrial technology to develop an immense defense program. When the alien invaders attack with unprecedented force, the U.S. president, teams of scientists, and brave fighter pilots spring into action to save the planet from a seemingly invincible enemy.

This sequel, is well, not a very unnecessary, at all. The first film's ending felt like this is a perfect ending, as the mothership exploded altogether as they celebrated their victory, resuming the Independence Day holiday, once and for all, and I can smell no sequel, at all.

The idea for a sequel was just......basically stale by the time it was released. Also, this film is very unorignal, and it's pretty much a rehash of the previous film, except only the setting and the aliens' goal are the major things that are different. It lacks the approachable nature of the original and instead focuses more on the science fiction trappings.

There are several characters from the previous film either only return just to be killed off or are never mentioned again as if they did not seem to even exist anymore; for example, Steve Hiller was killed off-screen before the events of this film and he only appears in a portrait on the wall in the White House, though it is justified since actor Will Smith declined to return for this film. The scenes where cities are being destroyed by tidal waves and the gravity field of the mothership lack the same impact as the saucers destroying their targeted cities in the previous film.

The action sequences, are not impressive at all, with none of them standing out in comparison to in the original and all of them being your typical battles with lasers and ships flying around.

The acting is way too stale, with many of them looking bored as if they had limited or restricted emotional reactions, even going as far as not feeling at times when they are supposed to feel; the worst example of this is the facial expression of Dylan Hiller the first time he is shown after his mother's death, which consists of him doing this wide-eyed blank stare.

The visuals themselves look lifeless, as most of the film is shot in dull and gloomy environments, and several scenes suffer from a usage of disgustingly blue color filters. The special effects lack any interesting designs or forms, and many of them suffer from rather slow movement as if they lack any energy to their modelling.

The final part of the movie, literally has a Sequel baiting: The sphere convinces the humans to join her resistance so they can launch a counter attack on the Harvesters' home planet; this was never resolved, as the film was a box office disappointment and writer Dean Devlin basically doubts that there is ever going to be a sequel to Resurgence.

So, overall, this film is not entertaining, at all, so, stick to the first film please!

4/10

Hope you love my review!
