Independence Day Resurgence (4K UHD + Blu-ray + Digital HD)

don't understand negative criticisms, the film was totally enjoyable and worked fine as a sequel or next step. Again, this genre of film is expensively produced pure escapism, as its number one goal, and then how artistically, or intelligently rendered it is, are items two and three on the list of criteria for a film of this sort. I'm giving it 5 stars because of the generally low ratings of many. 4 stars would be plenty, and maybe to some 4+, and others slightly below 4, (trying to judge what some hypothetical group of action/sci-fi/thriller/pulp fans might generally rate it). it is no (as in original version 1982) "Blade Runner", which would probably be a ten on a scale of 1-5 for this genre, as maybe "The Big Sleep" with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall (1946) would have rated (my silly but significant "10 on a scale of one to five" rating, i.e., The Big Sleep would get a 10 as an Escapist Film Noir Pulp Film. Whereas Pulp Fiction, i would give a 5 on a scale of 1 to 5 under the same category.. Film Noir Pulp... i mean it's titled that, even.... anyway, a perfectly enjoyable, very expensively made, escapist/sci-fi/thriller/(pulp) film is what i think of "Independence Day: Resurgence"... it also wouldn't hold up with the Matrix (if you don't mind the sometimes self-indulgent spiritualism of the latter film... none of that in "Independence Day: Resurgence"... just straight out, special effects and thrilling waz-gonna-happen plot.... there ya go!!! Enjoy, if you like this sort of thing. And to quote Abe Lincoln (or the quotation is often so ascribed) "if it's the sort of thing you like, it's exactly the sort of thing you'll like" or something like that.... :)

good movie

Meh, not that great. Lots of special effects.

Love my science fiction! Sequel was decent. I don't usually like sequels.

very good part 2

Good movie but not as good as the first.

It's so bad. It's so hilariously, wonderfully bad, and it's exactly what I wanted. So the people saying it's worse than the original ... yes, that's true. The original takes a lot of heat, because of the dialogue, and the acting, and the things that don't really add up, but in terms of storytelling it was effective, right? July 2 is this great crescendo culminating in the disaster scenes we all came for, while setting up characters we like despite ourselves because they're Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith. July 3 you get planes vs. spaceships, Will Smith being a badass, and they actually develop the characters in ways we care about. Then July 4 sets up a great showdown. It's a well constructed movie despite its flaws. This is the opposite. There is absolutely no sense of pacing or structure or build. Things just sort of happen, one after another, wherever the plot needs them to. The movie doesn't obey real world logic, or even disaster movie logic, or even its own internal logic, at pretty much any time. In one scene Bill Pullman's in the room chatting with people, the camera cuts away for one shot, and then cuts back to the exact same shot except Bill's missing, and they all say, "Wait, where did Whitmore go?" like he snuck out in that 1.5 seconds. Characters have love interests - like literally every character including Dr. Okun (he actually has the best one) has a love interest, except for Dylan -- why doesn't Jessie Usher get a love interest?? -- but of course that never actually motivates any character to do anything. Jeff Goldblum's love interest shows up in the beginning, hangs out at his side the whole movie, and is there at the end. Sizzling romance! But NO ONE CARES AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU. Because Jeff Goldblum is being Jeff Goldblum, Brent Spiner's enjoying himself immensely, Liam Hemsworth is fun to watch even when he's just watering his money garden, the special effects are of course fantastic, and there's an alien-hunting warlord with multiple machetes. This is the show that the actors put on for the patrons who hang out after curtain goes down, where they just ham it up and have a good time. If you walk in expecting a B movie with a tentpole effects budget, you'll have a good time too. Of course the other side of the coin is that there are some missed opportunities for real cinematic moments. Humanity's been prepping for 20 years - why not kick off the fight with humanity giving them a shiner? Like Rocky knocking down Apollo Creed, that moment when the enemy realizes, oh, this is actually going to be an even fight. The dynamics have changed and they could have played with that. But instead it just copies the original (alongside other sci-fi movies you love, and I mean shamelessly), so again mankind is caught off guard and steamrolled and sends out space planes with no shields that get destroyed. Oh well. Still fun.

Fast delivery. Item received in good condition. Highly recommended. 👍👍👍

edición del Reino Unido, que SÍ tiene doblaje en castellano para que lo tengáis en cuenta, aunque en la carátula NO lo pone, sí lo tiene

Bei vielen Filmen sind die Fortsetzungen nur selten besonders gut, meist geraten sie eher auf die lächerlich-alberne Schiene. Doch diese Fortsetzung ist nicht schlecht gelungen, auch wenn es in der Geschichte kleinere Fragen gibt, die nicht geklärt werden. Zum Beispiel heißt es hier plötzlich, dass es ein Alien-Schiff gab, das gelandet war und Bohrungen vornahm. Gut ok. Kann man noch gelten lassen, aber angeblich haben die Krieger dort sehr lange (scheinbar Monate oder gar Jahre) gegen die Aliens gekämpft, obwohl diese doch nur höchstens 4 Tage auf der Erde waren. (Es ging ja am 1. Juli los und am 4. Juli war der Rückschlag). Desweiteren hat die erste Bohrung offenbar 4 Tage gedauert (immerhin waren die Aliens 4 Tage auf der Erde und sind am Ende nicht bis zum Kern vorgedrungen), aber in der Wiederkehr, schaffen sie es in wenigen Stunden bis fast zum Kern zu bohren. Naja gut. Mit festen Zeitschienen haben viele Mehrteiler-Filme so ihre Probleme. Aber wenn man den Film mal nicht ganz so genau nimmt, schön gelungen und kein bisschen albern. auch wenn man Will Smith und seine Sprüche doch ein wenig vermisst und sich mehrmals fragt, wie er denn gegen Aliens bestehen und dann bei einem Testflug ums Leben kommen konnte und warum seine geliebte Stripperin plötzlich Krankenschwester im Hospital ist.

bon film j'adore

Cofanetto metallico contenente 2 dischi bluray di cui uno in 3d per chi è appassionato del genere. Il film è molto bello, certo è una americanata ma c'è a chi piace così: è pieno di strabilianti effetti speciali e non vi sono pause nel susseguirsi delle scene molto animate. Lo consiglio di cuore agli appassionati di fantascienza anche perchè non è facile reperire la confezione doppia nei negozi fisici.
