So far, Independence Day: Resurgence’s trailers and viral videos have done a good job of establishing what that version of 2016 is like, from the establishment of Earth Space Defense to the improved technology at humanity’s disposal.
When moviegoers sit in their seats to watch Independence Day: Resurgence, ideally all of the questions on this list will be answered for them during the story.
Rarely do blockbuster movies get direct sequels two decades after their release, but Independence Day can count itself among the few that accomplished that.
20 years after humanity banded together to defeat malevolent aliens in the War of 1996, Independence Day: Resurgence will see another group of aliens coming to Earth to pull off the same job its predecessors were tasked with: killing everything on our planet.
