saw it in a theature too today.
I thought it lacked the charm/soul/humor of the original.
Its not a better movie than the first one is.
I felt like the intire thing was just made, so they could do a sort of starship troopers concept, of takeing the fight to them (heres a 2nd movie, we made it so we could make a 3rd one).
It was more realistic than the first one, not as cheesy but still... felt off.
This is a "good" movie, not a great one.
The first Independance day, was a great one.
I really think the plotline & acting, let this movie down.
Too much focus on makeing everything bigger, and more explosions, while forgetting that makeing a good movie means also telling a good story.
Typical american movie style, lack of substance? just add more explosions & action! look at those special effects!
The high point of this movie, is in the start of it, when the aliens show up again.
The gravity effect of the ship on the planet was cool as all hell..... that was well done.
