REVIEW: INDEPENDENCE DAY - RESURGENCE

SPOILERS!!! BE WARNED!!!

SO I HAD A TOPIC THIS WEEK AND I WAS GOING TO WRITE IT EARLIER SINCE I KNEW I WOULD COME HOME LATE TODAY... WELL... I SORTA JUST GOT HOME NOW HAHA. IT DOESNT MATTER CAUSE ITS STILL WEDNESDAY SINCE I HAVENT SLEPT YET, BUT TECHNICALLY IM WRITING THIS AT 1:48AM... OH WELL... ANYWAYS... YOU GUESSED IT. TODAYS POST IS ABOUT INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE. THIS IS THE SEQUEL TO THE 1996 BLOCKBUSTER HIT INDEPENDENCE DAY. I LOVED THE ORIGINAL!!! WILL SMITH WAS THE BEST IN THAT AND A GREAT LINE UP AS WELL. SO THE MOVIE PICKS UP 20 YEAR AFTER WHERE THE ORIGINAL LEFT OFF. THERE IS GLOBAL PEACE AND THE EARTH BASICALLY REVERSED ENGINEERED ALL THE ALIEN TECHNOLOGY TO BETTER HUMANITY. NEW WEAPONS, SPACE STATION, MANIPULATION OF GRAVITY, AND FLIGHT. TRAVELLING ANYWHERE IS A SNAP AND GOING TO THE MOON IS NOTHING. THE MOVIE WAS ABLE TO BRING BACK TOGETHER MOST OF THE CAST, WITH THE NOTED EXCEPTION OF WILL SMITH, WHO SAID HE DIDNT WANT TO DO A SEQUEL WHICH WAS STUPID... IT REALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO SEE HIM IN IT. THE STORYLINE FOLLOWS HIS SON AND THE FORMER PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER AND ANOTHER DUDE LOL. THE ALIENS EVENTUALLY RECEIVE A DISTRESS CALL AND THEN BAM!!! YOU GO GONE SCREWED UP NOW... A QUEEN IS COMING FOR YOU!!! THEN THERES ANOTHER LIFEFORM THAT TRIES TO HELP AND LOTS AND LOTS OF ACTION PURSUE. THE GIANT ALIEN HARVESTING SHIP LANDS AND TOTALLY DESTROYS LIKE HALF THE PLANET HAHA. THIS REALLY SHOWS HOW TINY WE ARE... THAT SHIP WAS INSANE!!! IT WAS HUGE!!! SO JEFF GOLDBLUM IS BACK AND MAN HE GOT OLD... BILL PULLMAN GOT OLD TOO... VIVICA A FOX DIDNT DO MUCH... JUST SORTA DIED... BRENT SPINER LOOKS HELLA OLD... JUDD HIRSCH LOOKS THE SAME... ITS GOOD TO SEE THEM AGAIN AND THEY DID GOOD ON THEIR PARTS BUT THE NEW KIDS IS THE MAIN THING FOR THIS I SUPPOSE... LIAM HEMSWORTH IM NOT SURE IF HE WAS A GOOD CAST OR NOT... HE SEEMED FINE... MAIKA MONROE DIDNT SEEM TO HAVE DONE MUCH... JESSIE USHER FOCUSED MORE ON HIM CAUSE HES WILL SMITHS KID IN THE MOVIE THAT GREW UP... ANGELABABY DIDNT DO SHIT... SHE JUST LOOKED PRETTY AND THATS ALL... AND SHE DIDNT REALLY LOOK THAT CRAZY GOOD EITHER... WILLIAM FICHTNER I DONT KNOW... I LIKE THE GUY BUT I DIDNT WANT HIM IN CHARGE... DEOBIA OPAREI WAS COOL... AND THE REST OF THEM WAS OK I GUESS. THE OLD GENERAL WAS THERE THOUGH SO THAT WAS ALSO COOL. HONESTLY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS MOVIE FOR SOOOOOOOOOOO LONG!!! EVER SINCE THEY ANNOUNCED IT, I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. LOTS OF PEOPLE DIDNT LIKE IT, THE REVIEWS WERE MEH, BUT HONESTLY ITS MORE OF A MOVIE FOR THE FANS. THEY SORTA MILK IT BUT I DONT THINK ALL THE BAD REVIEW IS WORTH IT. I MEAN THE WAY THEY ENDED THE ORIGINAL COULD HAVE BEEN THE END BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT WHAT IF THERES MORE... THERE HAS TO BE OTHERS... AND THIS GOES RIGHT INTO THAT. I PERSONALLY LIKED THE MOVIE, I DIDNT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. ALSO CAUSE THE MOVIE JUST HAD A TON OF ACTION IN IT SO THAT WAS AWESOME TOO. I GUESS I JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL AND I WANTED ANY EXCUSE FOR A SEQUEL. STORYLINES NOT BAD, JUST THE SAME THING HAPPENING BUT THIS TIME MORE ADVANCED. ONE ISSUE I SEE THOUGH IS WHEN THE QUEEN WAS KILLED THE HARVESTER SHIP LEFT... WHATS STOPPING ANOTHER FROM COMING IN ITS PLACE... SHOULDNT IT ALL BE LINKED TO THE MAIN HIVE? IF THATS THE CASE THEN THERES A TON OF QUEENS... CONSIDERING HOW THEY SAY THEY CAN TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE ALIENS, THERE COULD BE 3RD MOVIE!!! BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT WILL HAPPEN. IF ITS ANOTHER 20 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD... I DONT KNOW HOW MANY OF THE ORIGINAL CAST WILL STILL BE THERE... HOW THEY GOING TO FIGHT WHEN THEY 80 LOL. THERE WERE A FEW LAUGHS IN THE MOVIE TOO. THIS MOVIE CAME OUT 20 YEARS AGO... AND IT REALLY MAKES YOU THINK HOW FAR WE HAVE COME IN THAT 20 YEARS... EXCEPT ITS NOT WHERE AS CLOSE AS WHAT THE MOVIE HAS ACCOMPLISHED. TO REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, WE REALLY ARE WEAK... ANY ALIENS CAN COME DOWN AND JUST TAKE US ALL OUT... WE DONT HAVE DEFENCES AND WE STILL BUSY FIGHTING EACH OTHER. HALF THE PLANET JUST CRUSHED AND DESTROYED LIKE NOTHING. THIS MAKES ME THINK, WHERE WILL WE BE IN ANOTHER 20 YEARS... WHATS LIFE GOING TO BE LIKE? WILL WE BE ANY CLOSER TO ANY OF THE THINGS WE HAVE SEEN OR WANT OR PROMISED? HONESTLY I CANT EVEN IMAGINE 20 YEARS FROM NOW WHAT I WILL BE DOING OR WHERE WE WILL ALL BE... ITS SO FAR AWAY... YET LOOKING BACK ITS ALREADY BEEN 20 YEARS AND WHERE HAVE WE BEEN... WE JUST HAVENT ADVANCED FAR ENOUGH AS A SPECIES TO HAVE THE THINGS THAT WE WANT... FORGET ABOUT THE COOL STUFF THAT THE FUTURE HAS... WHAT ABOUT EVOLUTION... THATS A WHOLE OTHER TOPIC I CAN WRITE ABOUT... WHICH I WILL... SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE LOL. ANYWAYS... WAY TOO MUCH YOU CAN SAY ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE... SOOOOO BACK ON TOPIC. I GIVE THE MOVIE A SOLID 7.8/10!!! I DONT CARE WHAT YOU ALL SAY, THATS WHAT I SAY IT IS. JUST ENJOY THE MOVIE FOR THE MOVIE ITSELF AND WHO CARES WHAT PEOPLE SAY. I ENJOYED IT AND THATS ALL THE MATTERS :)

REST OF LIFE CONSISTS OF WORK AND POKEMON GO... LOL STILL PLAYING BUT NOT JUST FARMING OR HUNTING... NOW WE GO TARGETED HUNTING HAHA. EVER SINCE POKEMON VISION CAME OUT OMG!!! JUST GO AND HUNT FOR WHAT I NEED AND WANT HAHA. THIS IS AWESOME BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT MAKES EVERYONE STUPID!!! PEOPLE JUST RUNNING ALL OVER THE PLACE, THROUGH TRAFFIC AND OTHERS DRIVING LIKE IDIOTS. IVE SEEN COPS KICK PEOPLE OUT ALREADY AND THEN PEOPLE YELLING AND SCREAMING LATE AT NIGHT AND PEOPLE COMPLAINING, WHICH LEAD TO MORE COPS COMING HAHA. WELL 1 THING THAT DID PISS ME OFF IS THAT I GOT A CRAPPY DRAGONITE AND AERODACTYL... I WENT HUNTING WITH FRIENDS AND THERE WERE A FEW OTHER DRAGONITES BUT COULDNT REACH IT IN TIME. FINALLY WAS ABOUT TO GO GET ANOTHER ONE AND IT WAS A ??? MARKED CP!!! OMG!!! IN THE END I SPENT 50 GREAT BALLS, 20 REG BALLS, AND LIKE 30 BERRIES... ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDD IT RAN AWAY... THAT FUCKER!!! I WAS LEVEL 19 SO I DIDNT HAVE ULTRA BALLS YET AND JUST SO PISSED... I ONLY HOPE THAT IT WAS A 1200 CP... THAT I WOULDNT CARE ABOUT... BUT MOST LIKELY A 1600 OR 1800 ONE... :( SIGH... ANYWAYS I WAS LIKE SCREW IT IL EVOLVE WITHOUT EGG SINCE I ONLY NEEDED 4000 MORE TO LEVEL TO 20... WHICH I DID AND THEN THE NEXT NIGHT I CAUGHT 2 SNORLAX!!! 1700 AND 800ISH. THAT MADE UP FOR IT ALONG WITH A BUNCH OF RANDOMS. SIGH... THIS GAME REALLY PISSES ME OFF SOMETIMES LOL. GOTTA KEEP HUNTING. AHHHHHH :) STILL HAVE ONES I WANT TO GET OR EVOLVE SO IL KEEP ON PLAYING HAHA.

OH YA SO I CAME BACK LATE TODAY SINCE I WAS AT A CLIENT EVENT :) POKER TOURNAMENT. I ENDED UP COMING IN 2ND PLACE SO IT WAS AIGHT. WAS ALSO INVITED BACK TO THE FINALS WHICH THE PRIZE IS INSANE!!! THE PRIZE FOR WINNING IT ALL IS ENTRY INTO THE WSOP MAIN EVENT!!! OMFG!!! THAT WOULD BE NUTS!!! AND ALSO THEY PUT YOU UP TOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I LIKE THIS HAHA. JUST HAD A NICE NIGHT, MET SOME PEOPLE, ATE A BUNCH, AND JUST CHILLED OUT.
