Last summer, Jurassic World felt like the sequel that no one really wanted to see made, but it wound up being a huge surprise. I don't see the same happening with Independence Day this year. I just don't get a good feeling from the trailers. And speaking of those, one thing really bugs me about some of the story presented there. So in the 20 years since the first one, the aliens have developed much more advanced technology so that they can re-attack. Why didn't the same thing happen during the even longer period of time between the area 51 crash and the first movie? Yeah, I know, there's no movie without it, but it just seems dumb to me. And I almost never focus on stuff like this.
