Well OK, I can't argue this. There are more summer movies on a week per week basis than there was in the past, that is definitely true. But big budget summer movies have always been a thing, going all the way back to Jaws.

He is actually a pretty good actor.
They would need revenge!

You make the assumption the earths economic systems haven't changed. Also the ESD is funded like SHIELD or the MIB, it holds a bunch of Patents.
Pull out a history book kid!
He meant because he died (apparently not) in the first one.
For sure. That was my bad, I was trying to get that point across more. There are just a ton of releases.
ID4 was one of those films that just lingered at the cinemas for what seemed like a year.
Because all of the ones we'd recognize were blown up in the first one.

What Hiller has been up to according to warof1996.com:
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
Lmfao
So they can kill him again.
A shame Will Smith isn't in this but I can understand why he wasn't really ready to jump back into another role after After Earth failed and his decision that might have lead to it. By the time he likely was okay and had finished his self reflection he had already agreed to do Suicide Squad. Here's hoping if there is a sequel there is an opening for his character to return.
That said he and Jeff Goldblum were what made that first film. I think that's pretty much largely agreed upon. They were the lead characters with Bill Pullman and Randy Quaid holding down third and fourth, maybe tied for third. I will see it because Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman are in this. I'm not as excited as I would have been had Will Smith also been in this but that's not going to be a deal breaker for me.

The trailer was surprisingly entertaining and suggests the film has a well-balanced mix of previous characters and new. A good start to building interest at least.

Looks bad. I was excited at the beginning of the trailer. Thought it was going to be about a small group of aliens that ended up staying behind on Earth and slowly been stirring shit up.
Trailer just reminded me of that Battleship movie. Why does every movie have to try and be "epic" and a CGI fest.
It'll make that $$$ for sure though.

Quaid was killed in the first movie.
There have been a couple of articles/news stories around After Earth "breaking" Will Smith, but considering most of the criticisms with that film were around Jaden, I don't understand why he took After Earth's failure as a problem with his own career vs Jaden not being a good actor/needing improvement.

Simple, the man has a massive Ego and any slight against his son is a slight against him.

Traditional animation was never cheap. Especially not Disney quality cinematic animation. You have to pay all those animators to render every frame by hand.

The Quaid from ID1 was a clone, the original is still alive on the aliens' super mothership
Now he is an alien gladiator

Isn't this going to be like a two part movie? If so, Will Smith gonna save the day in the last movie.
Yes they're planning another one after this one.
But Will was killed between movies.

Why do you think I'm not excited for this? There's not much more that brings my piss to a boil like the cinematic vomit that is Armageddon.
Jesus Christ, did they have to have Will Smith's character die such a pitiful death?

The explosion teleported Will to the alien homeworld where he's been held captive ever since. He'll be reintroduced to his son and wife in the sequel to Resurgence.

That's what he wants you and the aliens to believe!
Seriously though, they could chalk it up to him wanting to be in hiding or something stupid if he said he'd be down for the third movie. They're not gonna say no to him if he changed his mind.
