You know the sequel's coming one day

I don't want to close my eyeeeeeeeeees.

Real talk though, that wasn't even the best asteroid movie that came out that year.
 
The concept art released when filming first started made it look like they're going full on sci-fi craziness with this one. Really can't wait to see what the walkers look like. When the first one released, my dream for a sequel always involved massive ground combat. Hopefully we get that here.

Better not be talking about Deep Impact. That movie was fucking terrible.
 
Regarding no Will Smith:

Then, as Emmerich puts it, After Earth happened. And all of a sudden, Will Smith wasn’t eager to rush into a science-fiction story structured around a father-son duo on an adventure. Emmerich told us:

"In the very beginning, I wanted to work with him and he was excited to be in it but then after a while he was tired of sequels, and he did another science fiction film, which was his father-son story, so he opted out."

It makes sense, I think After Earth kind of shook Will.
 
Seriously, I just rewatched it and I'm kinda amazed how much this doesn't look or feel like a sequel to Independence Day.

This feels like a sequel to Armageddon. Like, this is straight up a 1998 Michael Bay movie in 2015.
 
This Robotech prequel is looking pretty good

Wished it had Will Smith but at least there's no Jayden or scientology

CGI quality is really nice for a trailer as well
 
1. No Will Smith
2. Obvious retread of the last one except bigger everything (the last line of the trailer even explicitly states it)

Pass. I've seen too many of these kinds of movies.
 
That they got like literally everyone back from the first, except Will Smith, just draws more attention to the fact Will Smith is missing.
 
Looks to rehash scenarios and imagery from the first movie.

Like

'Scene where aliens have escaped in a facility, there is smoke everywhere, and agent guys use pistols against it'
or
'Scene where you see shadow of ship slowly blocking out the sun from city'
or
'Scene on rooftop'
or
'Jets vs spaceships'
 
Amazing use of Pullman's speech from the first movie. One of my favorite movie speeches.

that ship has the surface area of multiple continents.

Why do these aliens needs our planet when they can build ships that have the length of a large portion of a planet?

So they can build more continent sized ships.
 
Well can't be worse than the original. /flameshield


Yes I loved it when it came out in the 90's but saw it recently and man does it not hold up beyond the effects.
 
You know, if the aliens would just wait one more day before invading, they'd make it a hell of a lot harder to rally behind an epic speech.
 
The Goldman is back, huh?

Also, please, can we stop with the Hans Zimmer kind of music everywhere? Thanks, Hollywood people.
