Independence day and why it might actually be pretty good

Not great, though. How many sequels released decades after the previous one have been that amazing? Jurassic World was cool, Terminators since the second one have been progressively worse, I barely need to remind people about the prequels, Riddick was a thing and lastly, Indiana Jones we waited nearly 20 years for, only to find it to be absolute horseshit.

But why am I optimistic for Independence day? Because the original wasn't exactly the next Star Wars, but still a good film that I like to occasionally re-watch. The bar isnt too high, it'll be pretty easy to make something thats atleast on par with the original. The second reason for my liking the idea, is its similarity in premise with Jurassic World, its a continuation in real time, telling us what the world might be like if there really was an alien-invasion 20 years ago. Thirdly and most importantly, it has Jeff Goldblum!!! What more would, uh, you, um, want? Will Mith isnt here but who cares? Goldblums Dad is here! whatever his name was.
