I know this new movie will be about humanity fighting off aliens sooner or later.

1) How does an alien spaceship drop seemingly all of Asia on London? Look out for the continent that’s about to fall on you, London. So let’s talk about the six questions I had while watching this movie - and beware: I’m going to spoil this thing, because it’s the only way to explain why it's so bad, and doing so will hopefully destroy any desire you have to see it.

All it cares about is making as much money as possible. Everything about it feels as if it just doesn’t give a shit about the audience watching it or the people who made it or even the fact that it’s unspooling before us. Independence Day: Resurgence is the worst kind of bad movie: one that seems indifferent about its own existence. Was it when I chose to leave my home for the movie theater, instead of spending the evening watching TV with my wife? Was it a week ago, when Fox announced it wasn’t screening the film for critics? Was it two years ago, when I convinced my bosses that Vox should review major movie releases?
