The Day After Independence Day (Some Spoilers)

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2004)

Had Independence Day actually been a groundbreaking film, I wouldn't be so disappointed with this, seeing as it's basically the same film, made by basically the same people. It tries (too) hard to be exciting, but is just plain predictable in many places. The acting is okay (about average), but most of the dialogue falls flat. There is no real reason to like or dislike any of the main characters, as there is very little character development. Many of the scenes that were meant to awe us are just dorky and clumsy (e.g., when a ship grinds to a halt in the flooded streets just outside the New York Public Library).
And the thing with the wolves was just stupid.
5.5/10 - Average.
