This time the Alien attack occurs for different reasons and when the Aliens arrive it's mayham. Earth must defend itself with both brains and braun.

Most of the original cast (Bill Pullman, Jeff Goldblum, Judd Hirsch, Brent Spiner) returns and this is a master stroke. One of the Hemsworth brothers is also in it (Liam Hemsworth) so your guaranteed some chuckles.

I must say Maika Monroe was stunning as Bill pullman's on set daughter. Sela Ward plays the president. I've really enjoyed her previous work (The Fugitive, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights) and this performance is no exception, oh and she's also nice to look at.

"The scale is increased in this movie, the alien spaceships are massive, the aliens themselves are even huge"

Both Independence Day movies to me have a re-occuring theme, that a nifty idea and not some state of the art technology can save the day. I love that, enjoy the action packed 120 minutes.
