Movie was fun to watch because of all of the original characters, except for Will Smith, but story was too complicated.

I was hoping that the sequel would be a continuation of how the first movie left me feeling about the possibility of an alien attack on our planet. Though many of the same actors returned in their same roles, I felt their performances lacking. Though still somewhat entertaining, it was a disappointment compared to the first.

Resurgence has a lot to offer when it comes to Sci-Fi movies. Spoiler alert! At the end there's a hint for a third film. In my opinion, the movie could have been much better without some unesecessary added alternative lifestyle scenes that detracted from an otherwise better film

I was a big fan of Independence Day and finally acquired "Part 2." I will say that it started out pretty "ho hum" and "dry" but by the end of the movie had worked its way up to "average." It probably won't stay in my personal DVD library if I can find a place that will take (AND USE) it.

I got this movie only for the 3D. Not as good as the first one, but has some good visual effects. Since there is a limited quantity of 3D movies out there, I saw this movie on discount and decided to take it home to take advantage of my 3d projector.

I liked the movie, but it was not as good as the first one. I think the three main young pilots distracted from the movie. Maybe they tried to appeal to the younger crowd, but it didn’t quite work. Still, I recommend the movie.

I don't know what I was expecting from this film, but I really thought they would bring something a bit more original. It's worth the watch, but I don't think its memorable at all. Decent CGI with the flight sequences.

Independence Day: Resurgence delivers what you might expect in an action movie sequel, but there is nothing special about it. It is okay to watch once but I don't think I'll be re-watching it any time soon.

I was a big fan of the first Independence Day movie so that’s why when I saw this I had to get it and especially at the price. The movie itself was soso though but a good add to my collection

Sadly no Will Smith in this one, the story is good (not a masterpiece here, we're only looking to be entertained a bit). Effects are good and my tween/teens liked it.

Decent followup to the first one with plenty of action and special effects. The acting is solid as well but doesn't quite hit the 4 star level in my book, 3 stars.

Expensive but a good DVD. I purchased this to try out the new DVD player that we bought. It was definitely a good movie for it, but thought it was a little expensive.

We didn't see this movie in theaters, but Best Buy had a sale and picked it up. Good 4K quality, although the sequel didn't compare well with the original.

The sequel is a garbage movie, but the sound is amazing and 3D quality is pretty good. If you have a 3D tv then it is worth the $6 I paid for it.

It's so bad. It's so hilariously, wonderfully bad, and it's exactly what I wanted. So the people saying it's worse than the original ... yes, that's true. The original takes a lot of heat, because of the dialogue, and the acting, and the things that don't really add up, but in terms of storytelling it was effective, right? July 2 is this great crescendo culminating in the disaster scenes we all came for, while setting up characters we like despite ourselves because they're Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith. July 3 you get planes vs. spaceships, Will Smith being a badass, and they actually develop the characters in ways we care about. Then July 4 sets up a great showdown. It's a well constructed movie despite its flaws. This is the opposite. There is absolutely no sense of pacing or structure or build. Things just sort of happen, one after another, wherever the plot needs them to. The movie doesn't obey real world logic, or even disaster movie logic, or even its own internal logic, at pretty much any time. In one scene Bill Pullman's in the room chatting with people, the camera cuts away for one shot, and then cuts back to the exact same shot except Bill's missing, and they all say, "Wait, where did Whitmore go?" like he snuck out in that 1.5 seconds. Characters have love interests - like literally every character including Dr. Okun (he actually has the best one) has a love interest, except for Dylan -- why doesn't Jessie Usher get a love interest?? -- but of course that never actually motivates any character to do anything. Jeff Goldblum's love interest shows up in the beginning, hangs out at his side the whole movie, and is there at the end. Sizzling romance!

Part 2 is a little too late, 20 years later. A few actors came back for the film, not quite as good as the first, But a must watch if you saw the first one.

Independence Day - Regurgitation. What with Hollyweird's nonsense these day's we're getting pretty picky about wasting time and money, so when this hit the big screen, we yawned and turned away. Since we bought a new 4k TV and this blu Ray was on sale at Christmas, I hesitated, then bought it. While it was better than anything on broadcast TV the night we watched, that's not anything to brag about. Why anyone bothers to either re-boot an original or do another boring unimaginative sequel is beyond me. The results are usually the same - terrible. While the effects were interesting, they too are getting as old as the hills. The story itself was pretty much a re-hash of the original AND hooray hooray, they left an opening for yet ANOTHER Earth tragedy to come. Wow... something to wait for. ZZZZZ. Spoiler if you care - They DID manage to kill off the remaining original cast members except for mainstay Goldbum, his doddering old mumbly and unfunny father Judd Hirsch, and the long-haired goofy lunatic scientist. The extras which I usually don't care about anyway... were especially terrible, and for some reason, it was necessary to keep turning up the sound as the movie progressed. We went from 18 in the beginning to 32 at the end just to hear the voices. Not that there was anything noise over them, they just weren't loud enough. If there were half stars, it would rate 2.5, but like I said earlier... it wasn't the worst we've ever seen, but we probably won't watch it again.

Well they say the sequel / prequel can never match up, well this onw even with bringing a plot and players from the original didn't come out very well.

Very disappointed in this sequel. Too long and nothing different. Actually, I could have given it 4 stars because of the wonderful 4K print.
