Folks.... I watch a lot of movies and I understand that Hollywood and the movie going auidience have an unwritten agreement that the audience needs to suspend a little belief.....but this stinkeroo flies in the face of all 3rd grade logic, the script sucks, the characters are two diminsional and too many.... It just looks like a cheap 50s sci-FI that kids would ride their back to see at a Sat matinee. Will Smith is a genius

This is definitely "a wait for Redbox" movie.

Do you mean ID5 (for lack of a better term)? Because ID4 (the original) was fricking awesome.

I'm so sorry you wasted 8 bucks on that movie. You could've went to Mcdonald's and get better satisfaction from them

People are surprised a sequel to a bad movie from the 90s is bad.

Other than the scale of the destruction, which had never been seen before, it's just not a very good movie at any level. The script is bad, the acting is bad, the cinematography is bad. It's pretty much all bad.

don't get me wrong, it was my favorite movie when I was 16, but then I grew up.

See that's where you fricked up. Honestly that's more your fault than the movie's. Your criticisms are thereby invalid.

Summer tentpole popcorn films are right up my alley, and even I have no desire to see this movie.

I heard that Fox held a screening for critics the day AFTER it premiered to the general public. The movie critic whose podcast I listen to said he had never in his life heard of that happening and it was a massive red flag. Fox basically tried to hide the film and hope people would show up in droves Friday night before fans and critics could lacerate it the next day.

kinda sad

we should be able to allow ourselves to just enjoy movies like we did when we were kids and not have to analyze every little thing

I'm guilty of it as well sadly

You can say 2 + 2 = 4 is invalid all you want too but that doesn't make it so.

I don't know how it got so much retro love but people at the time thought it was horrible. Even South Park makes fun of how ridiculous it is.

The mere notion of a bunch of has been pilots being able to fly the newest, super hi-tech planes like they had hundreds of hours of training made it ridiculous.

Gravity on s space ship?

Will Smith flying an alien spacecraft better than the aliens?

Crappy acting.

It was so bad. But yeah, we kicked those aliens asses!

Man, forgetting what it was like to be a kid must be the worst thing ever.

What's sad to me is actually wanting to "turn off your brain and just enjoy dumb shite"
