It sounds like something different, which this movie should have been if it wanted to recapture an audience. The movie blatantly sets up a sequel, but whether or not that will come to fruition is up in the air at this time. The problem is that a retro-sequel can end up being more pathetic than actually starting over from scratch. Reboots are garbage, so let's revitalize. I guess we're going to get hit with more of these. Throughout the film the cast does its thing, re-making Independence Day. but better than going backward on the part of Mr. Will Smith does not return, opting to appear in Suicide Squad. Jeff Goldblum also returns, does his thing, and collects his check. Bill Pullman returns as the ex-President, but actually takes up the crazed Randy Quaid character. The beats are the same as the first film and what is new happens to be well worn cliches from films such as Pearl Harbor. The film is pure paint by numbers and that philosophy can work when you add something interesting or at least make an effort. Throw in a McGuffin so that we have a way to set up another sequel and you're done. Aliens, angry that we beat them in the first film, show up. Plus, there seems to be to much copy and paste going on with this one anyway. I was thinking about doing a copy and paste from my view of the first film, but why go to the effort.

The plot isn't going to take much to describe.Honestly, if you've seen the first film then you have seen this one. Why we didn't get a sequel until now is a mystery to me. A film that could have delivered a sequel decades before now is Independence Day, a film that wasn't the greatest but it did deliver some summer popcorn entertainment. Star Wars is back with a vengeance, Indiana Jones is on his way, Alien, Blade Runner, Jurassic World and others have taken franchise stagnant for a decade or more and revived them not with a reboot, but a sequel that continues the long dead story.

Retro-sequel seems to have become all the rage lately.
