Finished watching Independence Day: Resurgence, directed by Roland Emmerich and staring Bill Pullman, Sela Ward, Maika Monroe, Jessie Usher, Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Deobia Oparei and Brent Spiner. The film opens up with another group of the aliens that attacked in the first film receiving a distress call containing the speech of President Thomas J. Whitmore (Bill Pullman) just before Earths victory from twenty years prior. This quickly turns out to be Thomas having a nightmare vision of the aliens plan. The film then goes to the White House where the current President Elizabeth Lanford (Sela Ward) is preparing a speech written by Patricia Whitmore (Maika Monroe) for the Independence Day celebrations as pilot Dylan Dubrow-Hiller (Jessie Usher) enters the room as he prepares to go to the moon base where Patricia's fiancé Jake Morrison (Liam Hemsworth) is currently helping to build more of Earths defences up there. Meanwhile in Africa scientist David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) meets with the warlord Dukembe Umbutu (Deobia Oparei) who has been fighting the remnants of the aliens who landed in Africa as the ship that brought them there reactivated and started drilling into the Earths core. Later during the Independence Day celebrations at Washington D.C. an alien ship appears over the moon base which is literally shot out of the sky almost immediately due to world leaders being reluctant to trust this different alien ship which is quickly followed by a massive ship containing the aliens from the previous film attempting a second invasion of Earth. Overall this was a good film as it keeps the same amount of crazy and senseless action from the previous film while also building upon the world that was created back in this films predecessor twenty years ago. There's a great amount of comedic moments throughout the film from the many interactions between each character while the reappearance of Doctor Brakish Okun (Brent Spiner) brings some of the best moments within the whole film as he pretty much steals every scene he's in. There is a few pacing and editing problems in parts of the film as some cuts feel a little disjointed in places that takes you out of the film a little. 7.5/10.
