Hey Kristin, I’ve heard of Independence Day, but never saw it. Your synopsis is really making me want to watch the original! Especially since it has so many great actors in it! But I feel like there’s a lot of inauthenticity to a lot of the sequels being made today. I feel like they’re surviving off nostalgia rather than giving us a great plot and interesting characters. Most sequels are money grabs to me and I feel like the only good or mediocre sequel I’ve seen was Incredibles 2, haha. Thank you so much for posting this! :)
Honestly, I envy you that you get to experience Independence Day for the first time! Yes, so many sequels are soulless cash grabs and this one definitely was, a real insult to the original. Now, I need to go watch Incredibles Two :)

Haha, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a movie so might as well binge a few! :)
Independence Day was an absolute classic. As always, you break down the whos, whats, wheres and whys expertly. Thanks for sharing.
I'm curious why you didn't mention Bill Pullman as President Whitmore.
