DieselDaisy Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 The original film is dreadful and I'm quite sure this will exceed expectations and be even more rancid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Jesus Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Well it makes sense, the continuation from the first film and the explanation of the time lapse. It appears to be more of a Sci Fi Action movie than the first one. As the first one was a reality vs Sci-Fi for most of the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Broue Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) I used to love this movie when i was a little kidThis looks good on today's CGI standards and could be a nice flickBut almost half the trailer looks like an aborted Star Wars movie...Anyway, i will watch it, when it's avaiable on Full HD form on torrent sites, then i will probably delete it immediately, lolNo Will Smith?Nope, they can't afford himLelHe is a terrible actor btw and he was even terrible on the original film so i don't miss him Edited December 14, 2015 by Strange Broue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was sort of THE disaster movie of it's time...but thats kinda my point, it was sort of a cinematic fad at the time, I suppose from a strictly investment point of view you're correct but Jesus can anyone remember anything about Independence Day? Were the characters stand-out in anyway, was it, in terms of the movie itself, at all memorable? I mean the effects and shit were, i vaguely remember Bill Paxman or someone as, was it the president, I'm not sure? And Will Smith as the token wise cracking black fella...as a movie, in and of itself, i don't see much to it of significant substance to tag a sequel onto is what I mean. It's like Twister or...whats that one with Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck? Y'know, those movies, they were more about the special effects than anything else.

DieselDaisy Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The original - that and Armageddon - virtually epitomises all of the aspects I hate in bad film-making: charmless, gormless, Hollywood excrement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the beginning of this insipid focus on special effects and this cartooney wow factor whilst eschewing plot, characterisation and decent acting performances.

I get what you mean (and I don't disagree), but movies like this are an investment. It's not sequel worthy from an artistic or cultural point of view, but it sure is from a financial one.

End of the day it's all about financial return, it's the movie business after all, it's about staying out of the red. I do feel such things are a detriment to the medium on the whole though but i guess it's the nature of the beast too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) I'm surprised they have taken this long to milk it, however, I suppose they were preoccupied with destroying the franchises from the 1980s, your Alien and Terminator franchises, as well as creating endless superhero films. Once that well had run dry, It was only a matter of time before they would get around to returning to the dopier Hollywood films of the 1990s.

rocknroll41 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 First one was cheesy as fuck but it worked for its time, I giess. This one won't work, tho. Even tho it seems to have some good ideas, the campiness feels pretty dated now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even tho it seems to have some good ideas, the campiness feels pretty dated nowThe first one was amazing, this one of the other hand seems empty without Will Smith. So many Alien movies have come over the years so this one won't stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 It won't be the same without Will Smith. I prefer not to have him than having him AND Jayden ruining it. I love ID, Goldblum and Bill Pulman. The speech during the trailer was very cool, it sure is an interesting universe to come back to. All this "Hollywood has run out of ideas" bullshit bores me to death, it's been like this since the beginning, I guess people like to look cool complaining about it now. Jurassic World was crap, Terminator Genisys is probably a joke (haven't watched it yet) but ID2 with Roland and lots of characters returning? Shit, I'm in.

appetite4illusions Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 But really, the only reason they had to make a sequel was to shoot their Will Smith load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Pullman, The Goldblum and Judd Hirsch are enough for me to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I'm too busy to post it but a new teaser was released, just check it out on YT, it looks cool! If you don't mind spoilers... Best part is that: Dr Okun is back! Edited April 4, 2016 by maynard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
