After 20 Years It’s Finally Here: Trailer For INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE

Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman are back kicking alien butt in Independence Day: Resurgence. This belated sequel to the smash 1996 sci-fi blockbuster has all the right action beats and plenty of spectacle.

However, will this Roland Emmerich directed flick connect with audiences like the original did 20 years ago? Time will tell, but this time Will Smith is missing from the mix.
