Independence Day 2 is one of the worst movie ever. And why Charlotte Gainsbourg was here? She's useless, her character is useless, and she's a bad actress.
I honestly pressed stop, and turned off the movie when the scientist who clearly died in part 1, sits up in a hospital bed after being in a coma for decades and can talk and communicate just fine and somehow knows aliens are coming. I didn't want to see anything beyond that point
The plotlines for the younger characters are just standard tropes. It's like they tried to jam every trope in there. Potential love triangle. Risk taker gets someone killed. By the book leader has to learn to loosen up.
I saw it in the cinema with friends, we all realised how shit it was pretty quickly, but I burst out laughing when the alien queen went on a rampage. It was so bad. "Look at its widdle legs!"
