Am I the only one who enjoyed "Independence Day: Resurgence"? · 6:16am Jun 27th, 2016
As a HUGE fan of the original film, I was so happy to finally see ID:R in theaters and to my delight, I really enjoyed it (so much so that I had my second viewing today, and a third scheduled for Tuesday). Yet, it seems like no one else seems to like it. I acknowledge that the movie has too many characters, little to no sense of dread (except with Jasmine and Julius fighting to outrace death), a rushed pace, and the most blatant cliffhanger ending I've ever seen, but I still enjoyed it, even more so than I did with The Force Awakens.
So, a question to you all: Does anyone else out there like Resurgence?
I thought it was okay.
I went in expecting explosions and action, and it delivered on that front. At no point was I expecting a thought-inducing movie about the plight of man and alien and blah blah...
It's a simple movie. I just think a lot of people were expecting so much more that they got disappointed when it didn't live up to all of their expectations.
