All I was expecting was an exciting, if not dumb, alien invasion movie like the first Independence Day but they couldn't even do that.
That whole plot with the other alien orb was cringe-inducing at times and felt like it belonged in a different movie. You never feel the real gravitas of the alien attack like in the first one. The young cast, apart from Maika Monroe, was awful. The old cast felt unneeded to the story and most had little to do. The CG was mediocre. The action scenes were dull. The other random sub-plots dragged the movie to a halt.
Man this was bad. Bill Pullman, Maika Monroe, William Fichtner, and the guy that played the African warlord were the only good parts.
also the alien queen was awful. Her non-armoured design was also a carbon copy of the alien queen from Aliens.
the first movie is an entertaining throwback to 50s alien invasion b movies…this movie was just nothing
Joshua Richardson
bump
Zachary Harris
>the sperg cynics on Sup Forums hate something that means it's good.
>The sperg children like something IE:MCU or transformers It's probably shit
Easton Taylor
you expected a rowdy nigger and got something much worse
the jew
Leo Mitchell
But how hawt was bloom in this?
Carson Stewart
yep. very similar to my immediate takeaway
bravo op
Jason Kelly
does will smith show up?
David Myers
you sounds like a major tool, and most of you here have no idea what you are talking about.
i'll download it, smoke some weed and i'm sure i'll had some fun with it, it cant be worst than capeshit
David Gutierrez
there are a few pictures of him
hey retard: i got high as fuck before i saw this garbage. weed, pills, and liquor won't make the experience any better. it's fucking garbage if you have any semblance of an analytical brain. 75% (and that's being generous) of the movie is wasted on filler, and every interesting concept is squandered in mediocrity.
but go ahead, wait for the dvdrip and skip my advice. waste your time and your decent high. you dumb fuck.
Brandon Stewart
Was anyone else surprised to see Mia Malkova in this movie?
Caleb Perry
Bu-bu-but is the movie at least fun? and revels in it's own universe that it tries to establish?
I-it does...right?
Nathaniel Parker
dude we will all watch it anyway, we also all know it's shit, if you were expecting anything else jokes on you, i'm not the one who paid for it
Adrian Thompson
The female casting is fucking terrible.
Jaxson Sanders
>if you were expecting anything else jokes on you
i was expecting enjoyable, passable schlock on the level of the first movie. i got forgettable trash on the level of any modern syfy original flick.
>i'm not the one who paid for it
i work at a movie theater senpai, i didn't pay a goddamn cent
Christopher Jenkins
Spot on, OP. Pullman was brilliant and did his best to salvage the garbage, but it was still garbage.
Lincoln Reed
Have the Aliens been named yet?
Hudson Sullivan
Yes, they're called ALIUMS
Gavin Gonzalez
Ayyl'maons
Isaiah Sanders
Harvesters
Adrian Reyes
Best part was any time based Goldblum was on screen. Worst part was nearly anything else. >that part where he gently protests waiting for the little girl to grab her dog
Chase Bell
Next movie will be about a counterinvasion and groundwar
John Carter
I see you've discord post-contrarianism contrarianism. Maybe some day you'll figure out what you actually like.
Kevin Smith
you mean what THIS one should have been
>Ayys land on earth >becomes EDF:the movie, with pew pew ground war >queen reveal in the end, leading to the sequel aka, the plot of this one
Michael Russell
best lines of the movie were by goldbloom, as always >everybody get on the bus >stay behind the yellow line please
Liam Torres
>they couldn't even do that.
if it was that easy hollywood would literally make 20 a year
Nathan Davis
>being new and triggered
Why do you even come here faggot?
Lincoln Martin
those are some high-grade autism cargo pants
Zachary Anderson
I liked how Jeff and his dad both said "It's definitely bigger than the last one".
The dad had a couple of good lines but was mostly not that good. Also what was up with him adopting all those kids, including the hot 16 year old babysitter or whatever she was supposed to be.
Dominic Thompson
>Was anyone else surprised to see Mia Malkova in this movie?
Tell me more!
Jeremiah Nguyen
Sounds like you're the only one that's triggered there kiddo
Carson Butler
So is this thing flopping of what? I saw the movie tonight (opening night) at a prime showtime and theatre had maybe half a dozen people in it. Meanwhile I saw Conjuring 2 a couple nights ago, a movie that had been out for well over a week, and the theatre was packed.
Fuck that sequel bait ending. Data should have never come back, his whole storyline in this was horrendous.
Maika was a qt though
Juan Gomez
ill probably just watch this for maika and joey they're both pretty qt
Julian Ross
>Also what was up with him adopting all those kids, i think they were trying to recreate the storyline of Russel Case and his three kids from first one but it just ended up being a pointless and dumb distraction from the rest of the story. The movie would have been loads better if Judd's character just died from the harvester
Wyatt Robinson
Agree 100%, it was pointless.
Gavin Allen
is it true Africa Corps guy went full ninja gaiden on a Xeno?
Camden Kelly
Maika Monroe thread
Asher Barnes
This movie will be good for Maika's career, right?
Gavin Wright
Yeah
Leo Carter
Hopefully it'll put her more in the mainstream. She was one of the better parts of the movie
Also Liam was awful but not as awful as Will Smith's fake son
Grayson James
Hang on, is that the chick from the Guest?
Those predatory features seem familiar
Logan Phillips
Will Smith's son was an utterly forgettable character. They shouldn't have bothered.
It Follows
Jack Roberts
I'm an idiot, she was in the Guest too.
Robert Brooks
African warlord is EZ from that Segal kino
Julian Rodriguez
Kind of sad how he's more relevant than Seagal these days.
Wyatt Reed
Same actress
Jace Lee
>You never feel the real gravitas of the alien attack like in the first one Holy fuck, this. I spent most of the movie wondering when it was going to start.
Brody Miller
So why didn't Smith do this?
Oliver Sullivan
Glad I'm not alone, I seriously was surprised when I finally realized the only disaster scenes we were going to get was when the damn thing landed and nothing more.
Michael Moore
Everybody's got their own story on why, so believe whatever is convenient.
Personally, I think he had a flash of clarity and realized sequels to 20 year old movies just don't work unless Star Wars is at the front of it
>Movie was really cliche >The fucking sphere's reaction to be touched by a human surprised me the most
I was convinced it was gonna swallow him and his consciousness would control it. The character was incredibly useless and annoying up until that point, so it was more wishful thinking.
Jason Hall
he installs cable tv, those are work appropriate
Austin Murphy
>Caring about anyone else's opinion Faggot
Luis Adams
It's fucking obnoxious the way it beats you over the head with dumb references to the original.
>NEGATIVE IMPACT >NEGATIVE IMPACT >DROPPING LIKE FLIES >LET'S SHOW THIS BITCH A CLOSE ENCOUNTER >*punches alien in the face*
Nolan Edwards
YOU KNEW DEN, Area 51
YOU KNEW DEN, and you did nothing...
Wyatt Hernandez
One of the best parts
Jace Edwards
When Liam first began talking to her, I thought she was his sister or something due to how young she looked like a 16 year old lol
Ethan Flores
I fucking loved the way this movie began, showing us moving real fast through the universe until we come to an Alien computer who is watching Pullman's 96' speech and right before he says "We celebrate our Independence Day" the Alien presses a button as a loud sound emerges and old Bill wakes up in bed as if from a nightmare.
GENIUS
Joshua Howard
maika monroe and mia look kinda similar, think thats what he was getting at
Henry Scott
lmao... this
Perfect opening to tell the audience "get ready kids cuz you're all in for a shitfest unlike any you've seen"
Brandon Bennett
>The CG was mediocre
Adrian Flores
>mad I know how sperg mobmentality works >mad I can harness the energy of Sup Forums for my own gain Stay mad spergie.
