re: Independence Day - Resurgence 40%RT Discussions and (SPOILERS) thread

Saw it this afternoon. I was disappointed that the aliens didn't actually attack like they did in the first movie. Most of the devastation was due to the arrival of the massive harvester ship. Changing the intent of the attack from the first film to the next didn't make much sense.

Falling Skies on TNT was probably the most realistic depiction of how aliens would attack, if an invasion were possible. First, they generated a massive EMP that shut down power and wiped out all communication. Then, they nuked major population centers from the air. Lastly, they sent down ground troops to round up the survivors.
