UPDATE: An IDR viral site, The War Of 1996 - United We Stand, was just launched, revealing with it the fate of Will Smith's Col. Steven Hiller...

While test piloting the ESD's first alien hybrid fighter, an unknown malfunction causes the untimely death of Col. Hiller. Hiller's valor in the War of 96 made him a beloved global icon whose selfless assault against the alien mothership lead directly to the enemy's defeat. He is survived by his wife Jasmine and son Dylan.

We always knew they were coming back. After INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global catastrophe on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.

Looks dope. This opinion has decreased over the years, but I hold the original as an awesome blockbuster.

MrCBM56 - 12/13/2015, 11:35 AM

@DrDoom Epitome of unnecessary.

Reasonnnn - 12/13/2015, 11:38 AM

I don't care, I liked it!

DrKinsolving - 12/13/2015, 11:40 AM

Haha, nice. I'm surprised at how cool that was

Darktower - 12/13/2015, 11:45 AM

Sweet baby Darwin!!!
Independence's Day was the Best Alien Invasion movie when i was kid!!(still one of the best)
Hope its good! n lives up to the 1st one.

Spock0Clock - 12/13/2015, 11:46 AM

@DrDoom
Still kind of in shock that this movie is happening.

Kyos - 12/13/2015, 11:49 AM

Ah, damn, that was kinda nice! I quite enjoyed the first one in all its stupid glory back in the day, and this looks like a worthy sequel. Bummer that Will Smith isn't back, though.

Spock0Clock - 12/13/2015, 11:50 AM

I'll admit to being a bit interested in the beginning of the trailer. Looked almost like an XCOM movie. But then that action just started to look too dumb and Michael Bay-y. Still chills on the speech, though. I'm an absolute sucker for that global humanism appropriating the cadence of American nationalism.

TheRationalNerd - 12/13/2015, 11:51 AM

Just saw this a few minutes ago while watching my Skins! It looks pretty great, really wish Will was in here but it's all good.

Brainiac13 - 12/13/2015, 11:52 AM

Looks way more serious than the 1st one...

TheBeard - 12/13/2015, 11:53 AM

I honestly didn't know they had even started filming this, looks good though.

SuperGOAT - 12/13/2015, 11:53 AM

Not gonna lie... Was hoping for a Will Smith ending shot

loganelliott - 12/13/2015, 11:54 AM

Im actually surprised with how good that trailer made it look. Still just simple popcorn action. But that was a good trailer.

EricBorder - 12/13/2015, 11:55 AM

Nice, looks good, for what it was, the original one was such a cool movie back in the day

ForcedAccount - 12/13/2015, 11:55 AM

Moon bases?

Kyos - 12/13/2015, 12:00 PM

Tasmaniac - 12/13/2015, 12:00 PM

Why, oh why could this cheesy shit have not just gone quietly into the night?

ALegendaryPanda - 12/13/2015, 12:03 PM

This looks [frick]ing fantastic!!

Tasmaniac - 12/13/2015, 12:03 PM

Hang on, if earth used alien tech to build their new weapons, does that mean they are now also succeptable to iOS based viruses.....

Brainiac13 - 12/13/2015, 12:04 PM

@Th0rOdinson

How old are you?

NightBoyWonder - 12/13/2015, 12:04 PM

Will Smith shouldn't have passed on this...

Brainiac13 - 12/13/2015, 12:05 PM

Alien Invasion movies date back to the 50s I think....

RandySlammage - 12/13/2015, 12:07 PM

Looks pretty decent, I'll give it a shot, I'm a sucker for science fiction.

Brainiac13 - 12/13/2015, 12:09 PM

Maybe Will Smith is just making a cameo..

Spock0Clock - 12/13/2015, 12:10 PM

@Maia87
Back when Will Smith was cool.

So... do you think it was the family-friendly rapping on the movie soundtracks that killed it or his charisma vampire wife and children?

Brainiac13 - 12/13/2015, 12:10 PM

Star Wars is gonna have the best trailers of all time!!!
