However, the new alien species we meet is really more of a sentient robot than a life form. In Independence Day: Resurgence we get direct contact with a second alien race, as well as learn of the existence of numerous other species. If all they wanted was some sweet juicy core to power their ships, why choose the one planet in the Solar System that can fight back? The Theory So why is this so absurd? Because Earth is far from the only planet with a molten core in the solar system, but we are the only one with life, Randy Quaid, and a history of kicking alien ass. They even previously brought a ship whose sole purpose was to “mine” down to our core last time they invaded in 1996, but this time, they are mining directly into the Atlantic ocean in order to get to our core. The stated reason Earth was attacked is so that the aliens can harvest Earth’s super awesome core. So what does this theory fix? Motivation Why the aliens attack Earth It landed over all of the Atlantic ocean, but apparently, the gravity only affected large cities instead of small towns that border the actual ocean. This ship sucked up skyscrapers, but apparently not only left roads intact but also cleared all debris from them as well. This theory also does not explain why Julius Levinson (Jeff Goldblum’s father from the original) was on a boat, survives the tsunami/waves of death (caused by the aforementioned giant gravity-wielding super ship), gets saved by children who have no real purpose in the movie, then manages drives all the way to Area 51 in only like 4 or 5 hours. Seriously, when it enters our atmosphere it sucks up entire skyscrapers, but when it leaves it apparently magically no longer has any gravity. The Problem With Independence Day: Resurgenceįirst of all, this theory fixes a lot of the plot holes in relation to motivation in Independence Day: Resurgence, but it does not, however, fix some of the other terrible plot devices such as how the mothership is so damned large this time that it has its own gravity. If you have not seen the movie yet or do not want any spoilers, DO NOT READ THIS ARTICLE. This is when he came up with the brutally simple theory that patched so many of the numerous nonsensical plot holes.
That may be a little hyperbolic, but Independence Day: Resurgence just felt like one of those hilariously bad Syfy original monster/space movies, but with an absurdly large budget.Īfter seeing the movie, I got to talking about the film with my buddy and all of its flaws. However, after seeing it opening day, I was devastated. Even though Will Smith would not be in the film (Goldblum is more than enough to keep me happy) I had high hopes for this film. I’m a huge fan of the original Independence Day (1996), so needless to say, I was super excited when Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) was first announced.
