Independence Day: Resurgence (2016, dir. Roland Emmerich)

20 years after Independence Day, the aliens return. Sequel/reprise of the 1996 original, taking a lighter, space operatic tone. ID4:R works because it plays as B-movie fodder, and is less interested in plausibility than in creating fun moments.

Oh, lord, no. One of the worst films in recent years. Awful on just about every level and I felt ashamed watching it.

  Naa. It’s tongue-in-cheek fluff. In one eye and out of the other. Enjoy!

I couldn’t. I’d hate myself in the morning.
