I was excited by the preview for this movie. It brought back the memory of the great story.
Sadly, Resurgence seemed to me to rely too much on the original; the story telling seemed disjointed
(how was it Europe was getting dropped on top of Asia?), rushed, and more the responsibility of the special effects than anything else —
which, apart from a few explosions in the air combat scenes, looked pretty sharp, as you'd expect.
So I guess it
comes down to what you're looking for from Resurgence. If you're not all that interested in the
movie as a sequel to the story of Independence Day or are just into sci-fi/alien pew-pew-pew flicks,
go see it. If you are interested in holding Resurgence to the standard Independence Day
set, well, maybe you won't have as much trouble with it as did I.
