The Roland Emmerich sequel to 1996's classic action blockbuster Independence Day, Resurgence takes everything fun about the original and promptly dumps it, replacing it with an incoherent plot, terrible characters, meaningless action and over the top disaster scenes. The result is quite possibly the dumbest movie ever made.

Hey, Drinker can you do Anime and Tokusatsu Reviews since I got idea which day of the week would you do Anime Reviews. kzhead.info/sun/e9SJqrqrfJZ6e58/bejne.html
Would you ever consider reviewing anime? 2 of my favorites I’d think fit your tastes are Sword of the Stranger And Jörmungand.
"Discount Will Smith" is a Powerless A-Train
Yo Drinker, digging the new book; keep up the world-class entertainment, man. Cheers
Haha your Amazon books link has B00B in it
The other day my wife said “why haven’t they made an Independence Day 2?”. I told her “they did, and we saw it in theaters, together, on opening night”. She had literally blocked that hot garbage out of her memory. I wish I could do the same.
The question is, why did she think it needed a "2"...and why spend money on a sequel 20 years later? I say you got what you deserved...and blame you for garbage like this being created.
I mean, spiritually you could kinda see "Ender's Game" as a loose sequel to Independence Day, since it opens with a narration that explains that an alien invasion got stopped when a pilot bravely sacrificed himself by ramming his own plane into the mothership making it blow up. There's a twist regarding the heroic pilot in "Ender's Game", but in this sequel to ID4 I could just separate it and give the role to Will Smith's character.
The correct terminology would be "suppressed memory". LOL.
@@DeepEye1994 Holy sh#t your right. I sort of did something similar with the original halo series (halo wars-3). That mass effect was the "real" sequel (just replace "Taurin" with "covenant/elites" and the rest fits perfectly.) While the board game warhammer 40k, is the aftermath of ME3 "destroy" ending. (Which in turn is foreshadowed in the film event horizon.)
I envy your wife.
Not only did I forget this movie existed, I forgot I had already watched it.
Lol
lol
I'm glad I never even knew it existed, now I'm pissed that the blinders have been ripped from my eyes. It's like seeing something so horrendous that you simply can not not see it anymore. Goes to janitors cupboard to look for some bleach🤢😣😣😭
This comment couldn’t possibly be more true. I saw this in the movies. I didn’t realize it while watching this review until I saw the giant alien. Such an underwhelming movie.
Me too
My husband and I take turns picking movies we want to see together. He really wanted to see this, so we went to watch it. After leaving the theater he was like "I'm so sorry, you can pick the next two movies". True story
That's basically what happened with my wife and I. I told her I had nostalgia from seeing the first movie as a kid in the 90s. So I wanted to rent this one, because I was curious what they could do now with the improvement in special effects. After it ended, she turned to see my face and just burst out laughing, I looked so disappointed and angry.
I brought my wife AND dad too, and paid the IMAX tax, I was hoping for something a little better than 2012, but during that show, I remember laughing every 5mn and finishing every laugh by WTF, WTF WTF, what the fuuuuuuck he did with this sequel! Even shitty Ridley Scott's Alien's "sequels" are better. Anyway, I bought the 4K Bluray, for the record.
No. That's not a true story. None of that ever happened.
@@weltraumaffe4155 well, we still regret paying $30 to watch that dog shit of a movie, not including the extra $25 for snacks.
😂😂😂
I love the idea that they think the only thing you need to do to make the move from stripper to doctor is just decide to make a career change. Lol
Because taking off clothes for drunks and low pay is the more difficult and exciting career choice once you graduate from med school.
and then they just kill her off 😪
I was under the impression that the character decided to become a doctor because of the experience she had trying to take care of injured people in the first film.
In the UK strippers earn more than junior doctors
Marsha Clark, District Attorney in the OJ case, paid her way through law school by, you guessed it, stripping.
Calling Liam Hemsworth "Discount CHRIS Hemsworth" and Brent Spiner "Discount Data" Absolute legend.
I thought Jeff Goldblum was discount Data because he was the "top" scientist.
Nevermind. I stand corrected.
@Evan Koch emoVader :D
But since Spiner IS the real Data, unlike Liam being Chris' brother, wouldn't it be better to call Goldblum the "Discount Data"? I didn't get that one. Unless he was saying he was ACTING like a Discount version of his old character Data...
Great Video!
My 12 year old girl sat down with me and watched “Independence Day” one Saturday and enjoyed it. At the end, she asked me if there was a sequel and I said, “No, sorry honey.” One day she’ll find out that I lied, but she’ll forgive me.
NEVER let her see the sequel my friend!
@@vadikturgenev5175 totally agree!
A parent should never lie to there children.......but in this case it is acceptable.
@@joeclaridy, I will take the heat for it when she’s older, but she’ll say (with a tear), “I see now that you were just trying to protect me, Daddy!”
You did what you had to do. I’m sorry you had that experience and hope can get therapy for having to mislead you child but I’m sure God will forgive you. I hope.
I saw this in the theater with my husband, we both loved the original. Halfway through I went to the restroom just to google the runtime to see how much longer I had to sit through.
Saw the first movie, but didn't realize there was a sequel. Can anyone tell me: Have the invading aliens managed to update their anti-virus software since the first movie? They were previously defeated by a geek with an old Mac laptop and a floppy disk.
They adapted their software to suit ours so they could use our satellites in the first movie. David discovers this and sends a human virus into their systems via this connection they made.
No
The Aliens now use Norton Anti-Virus...it has worked well for them in many star systems.
@@LgiovanniF But all they wanted to do was destroy the planet by drilling and destroying our core… so kidnapping Quaid and experimenting on him for our weaknesses made little sense in the end.. and then there was the little thing in regards to why the fook didnt they just blow earth up from space and move on.

Yep. Saddly true
“Luckily they were wearing their plot armor”. Absolutely hysterical.
Also Absolutely true, sadly...
I heard someone make a great point about this film before. The African warlord guy talks about the struggle to fight all the stranded aliens in a conflict that lasted for years after the events of the first film. I want to see THAT film. Machetes vs Lasers. Make it happen.
There are stranded aliens.... Without Queen... Hello script?
Intergalactic aliens weakness….child soldiers
So, like a cross over aliens × black panther then?

The thing with that line in the movie is that it disproves the idea that the species is a hive mind controlled by one individual. The movie is so incredibly shit that it contradicts itself on an essential plot point.
"This whole thing is just included to create the idea that there's some kind of clever mystery plot going on with this movie, when in actual fact, it's just dumb as F*ck." Got the involuntary laugh even on the replay. Love this guy.
Independence Day was admittedly fun and dumb, but Resurgence was just plain dumb and kept dragging on forever.
I liked it. Shoehorning the Chinese in was going a bit far.
Almost a chore to watch
Independence day cetainly wasnt intelligent, but you dont watch it to challenge your brain. You watch it to see humanity beat xenos ass
Anything with Angelababy in ain't going to be an Oscar contender. Ugh, Critical Drinker needs to address the fact that Hollywood movies have become so crap the last 10 years because - Chyna!
And it was a one and done movie. No one really cared about what would happen to the world or characters afterwards. But Hollywood is so lazy and creatively disabled, they can't create new things anymore. The funniest thing is these remakes, reboots and decades-later sequels almost never make enough money to justify a sequel. Hell, most of them flop nowadays. Yet, the geniuses who run studios (who are probably the talentless children of powerful execs/producers) still think it's a good idea to make them.

@@robertfitzgerald3118 You can get those pretty cheap in Ukraine these days. I thought about purchasing one myself.. .

This channel needs a science channel. I’d watch the Drinker talk science all day long.
So sad, there could've been so much to tell (considering the sequel *had* to be made) : about the immediate aftermath of the victory. The chase for the surviving aliens, exploring the space ship wreckages, the buildup to the nicer world...
Actual physicist here. That was exactly my look.
Yeah. I am a humanist, and that was my look too. I mean: unlike 20 years ago now videos like "What If", which explore the eventuality of astronomical paradoxes (such as the Earth being a close satellite of Jupiter, and the like) are available to everybody at any time. Any dumbie (like me) can immediately detect the BS and cringe.

@@TheSchultinator Of course, who wouldn't? They actually made a whole other movie about it called Event Horizon with some fake-ass backstory about wormholes and whatnot when the true story was just watching that scene from this movie.

I went and saw Independence Day multiple times in the theaters. I still get chills from that speech haha
The first one. The second was awful
Seriously, chills? From ID? Good grief.

I've gotta say that @1:05 hearing the drinker yell "USA! USA!" made me laugh WAY too much.
@trevorperkins4585, I got a Team America vibe for just a second.
I know it started earlier, but this is the movie that cemented in my mind...that Hollywood can no longer make memorable great pictures.
If your alien civilization has the ability to travel between stars and do so in only a matter of years, you by necessity also have the energy needed to fry the Earth's surface, either with a big laser or some kind of relativistic kinetic weapon (in fact, they could literally just dump their garbage in the Earth's direction while flying past it at near light speed and it would have the same effect as setting off all of Earth's nuclear arsenal simultaneously, except without the radioactive fallout). If all the aliens wanted was the Earth's core, there was no reason they had to invade when they could have simply sterilized the Earth from space, then they could just scoop out the core at their leisure without any resistance.
How about you make a video about it?I would love to watch you ripping it apart.
LOL. I'm sorry. Are you trying to apply _science_ to this piece of garbage?
They wanted biomatter or something, I think no one of the authors really thought that hard.
Klendathu had the right idea - just drop big rocks and let gravity do its work.
@@hebanker3372 There's really no video necessary.
"Naturally discount Chris Hemsworth, discount Will Smith and forgettable Chinese actress all remember to wear their plot armour, so they're totally fine".... I spat my soup. Well played Sir, well played.

What type of soup?
Mmmmm soup…
@@planetdisco4821 alphabet soup but it's only M's
Incoherent spaghetti soup
I must admit the only reason ''Independance day'' the original one, stuck in my mind. Is because I had taken magic mushrooms before entering the theater. I still remember the giants U.F.O's crashing down the front seats in the theater at the end of the movie. Good times.
I like how the Aliens have extra slow lasers that appear to travel at less than 1% the speed of light.
Roland Emmerich didn't wake up one day 20 years later and realized he needed a sequel; he woke up and realized he needed a paycheck
From what I understand it was that he been trying to get Stargate back to do his trilogy and the studio was like yeah you can do it but first you got to give us a sequel to independent day so he just slapped something together that he didn't really want to do and we got this shite which failed (rightfully so) so the studio was like fuck your trilogy were going to keep Stargate shelved.
@@shadowphoenix1696 That figures...typical Hollywood ! Can't say I'm too impressed with Emmerich's skills as a director, though, he's sort of Michael Bay's obnoxious little brother. Was Godzilla an (un)intentional comedy- who knows? To be fair, I didn't like the first Independence Day, even when it came out, but at least it's way more coherent than this crap !
That backyard could sure use an infinity pool.
@@jasonvaughn4886 yeah I agree Although I do like his early films like ID, Stargate film(94) and day after tomorrow. Yeah their dumb but I find them really fun. But his later stuff is absolute garbage and not fun.
@@shadowphoenix1696 Yes, Stargate is a very unique film with a great cast, and easily his best work, however his later stuff like the Day after Tomorrow, or 2012 are complete garbage
Yea, these aliens, by far, deserved to die because they didn't have antivirus software. They could traverse the universe, have a deep mathematical knowledge of the gravitational equations that govern the universe, could fold space, but because they didn't have Norton 360... they meet their demise.
*how do you say "DOH!!!" in their native alien tongue...that is assuming of course they even have anything remotely conforming to what we would assume or approximate an alien tongue would look like or even function as such without having an additional mouth filled with sharp pointy translucent teeth*
No, they died BECAUSE they had Norton 360 !
Didn't they literally spread the virus to the aliens by uploading it to "alien.mothership" or something?
and it happened before the serial bus became universal serial bus (how did he even know how to connect (and hack) in the first place when the alien tech was supposed to make 3 nm Threadrippers look like a kindergarten project ...)
Well the aliens couldnt help themselves. They got currious when they saw the pop up on their screen telling them theres a hot chick only 2 miles away from them needing some love.
This movie gave me some sort of Hollywood PTSD. After watching it I felt and acted like Brad Pitt from 13 Monkeys. 😂
so bad, an extra monkey....................
Just like Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys, you need to show your butt to the producers of this piece of sh_t of a movie 😄. You made my day man😅

I remember leaving the theater and turning to my wife and asking, "What the fuck did we just watch?"
My favorite part of independence day is that everyone treats randy quaid like hes crazy for saying he was abducted by aliens. Then aliens attack the planet and thet still treat him like hes crazy.
Because he's crazy...
Yah, i always felt like there should have been a scene with Randy Quaid and Robert Loggia 3:57. That would have really rounded out the movie. kzhead.info/sun/Z5GomK5upop9noE/bejne.html

Probably the angriest "go away now" I have heard to date.

The physics of a Roland Emmerich movie are always insane. It's almost like he's pandering to an crowd of toddlers who still are memorized by the stolen nose trick. Moonfall was the funniest thing ever, the man really turned a moon into a predatory beast that was selectively sucking up random objects with no foundation into the physics of it. Selective gravity is the shit 🤣
Moonfall was even worse that ID 2
That speech by the president was one of the best movie speeches ever.

"Let's just redo the 90s, only terrible!" -- Hollywood, apparently
But the 90s were kind of terrible as they were.
I've just realised they haven't remade the towering inferno that classic 70s disaster movie which is surprising seeing as they have remade everything else even the Poseidon adventure.
@Big Al And more people living in densified "towers", plus the fact that Hollyweirdoes want to sell "densificatiion" and don't want anyone questioning whether it's actually a good idea to pack people into tall towers ...
Not to sound funny, but the CGI in the 90's were more better. Whilst there are 1-2 movies these days that have great CGI, they are not the majority (IMO) I still don't get that...
absolutely correct.
The thing that always killed me about this movie was that the premise of it as presented in the trailers was actually intriguing and made sense. It has taken humanity decades to sort through the wreckage of these massive alien ships that they shot down (makes enough sense to me). And after years of sorting through alien technology and trying to figure out what it all is, they stumble upon an active beacon (makes enough sense to me). Naturally, they call David to investigate given that he brought down the aliens the first time and understands them better than anyone (makes enough sense to me). David analyzes the beacon and discovers that it’s sending an interstellar signal to the alien home world, and they’re about to be invaded again by an even bigger force (makes enough sense to me). That is a cool setup for a sequel. It had a chance to be good. They just horrendously botched the execution of it.
I'm not an actual physicist, I am merely an engineer.... but yes, you are 100% correct about what that much off center mass would do to Earth. It would in fact pull the whole planet into an egg shape, thus causing earth shattering quakes (as the tectonic plates literally shattered), leveling everything on that side of the planet (except directly under it, but that area certainly wouldn't get off light either). So yes,: One side would immediately turn into a volcanic hell scape with above hurricane winds and ridiculous tsunamis, and the other side would be exposed to [almost] the vacuum of space.... All in all, not a good day for Earthlings.
“Jasmine giving up stripping to become a doctor for some reason”🤣
She suddenly realized halfway through a strip to Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" that as a Woman of Color(TM) in Current Year(TM) she was naturally really, really good at "the science" and enrolled in medical school the next day.
Wasn't there something in the first movie about her doing it to get through medical school? Or is that the story they all say for tips?

This was the greatest movie theater experience I ever had. Literally the entire crowd was making fun of the movie and making comments through out the entirety of the film. Good times had by all
I went to see Starship Troopers for the third time at a packed $2.50 theatre back in the day. We get to Dizzy's funeral scene, it's all quiet, the main guy says "Dizzy was my friend."...and with timing that would make the world's greatest comedian jealous, my buddy lets out the loudest, sharpest, juiciest sounding fart to ever explode from an anus. The whole theatre burst into laughter and kept laughing for like half a minute. Guys were hooting and whistling. It was pure magic.

"Nah it'll be fine" in that super heavy Scottish accent is the best thing to ever make contact with my eardrums.
My favorite part from the original was the scene where they are asking for pilots. When Randy Quaid relates his story about being kidnapped by aliens and everyone rolls their eyes, as if there is no alien invasion happening right in front of their eyes.
Even with an Alien Invasion being abducted was still crazy. Thats how i always read it lol.

Great review as always! One of the things that bothered me about this remake was the first movie had an almost “tongue in cheek“ script with larger than life characters and loving homage paid to prior science-fiction films with lines and scenes taken from the 1953 version of war of the worlds, ideas, and scenes from Aliens and the amazing special effects done in the first movie with miniatures and pyrotechnics still look better than most of the CGI effects that we are bombarded with constantly nowadays. Also, I was wondering can Tatiana fire a handgun like that? Just asking

Turkish Star Wars is pretty dumb.
That Toilet Duck line comes out of fucking nowhere and makes me laugh my fucking lungs out. God that’s funny.
I found the first movie totally unbelievable, a super advanced alien race destroyed by a computer virus.
To be fair I remember pretty clearly that the aliens had hijacked into earth's telecommunications in order to learn what was the most important places on earth. In order for their operating system to be able to even understand the telecom of earth's data packets it would need to be compatible with the instruction set. Once that compatibility is in application then it means vulnerabilities exist... The only alternative here is that the aliens used some kind of virtual closed off operating system and I feel like that's not something I would think about if I was them to be honest. We have to remember here that in order to even inject the computer virus they had to enter the mothership, which required using one of the aliens own ships to even pull that off. I could definitely imagine the general talking to a subordinate, "Sir what if we get a virus from interfacing with the xeno scum technology?" "What a stupid question! The only way we could get a virus is if it's applied inside the ship".
Back then people thought computer viruses would destroy the entire world, so they were the "in thing" for super weapons.😂
Rule of thumb: If a Classic movie from 20+ years ago gets a sequel, it’s going to have the dumbest decisions ever.
I guess the only exception to the rule was Blade Runner 2049. People seemed to love the hell out of that one
@@TheForbiddenOne55 maybe because that’s the only movie made by competent movie makers.
Top gun: Maverick is looking good. If it ever gets released...
Except for Cobra Kai..yes.
it's 2020. Prety much all of mankind has gone dumb by now.
No joke, they brought on Christopher Weaver, the founder of Bethesda Softworks, as their computer consultant for Independence Day. I doubt they took much of his input for the film, but supposedly Jeff Goldblum's character is inspired by Chris. And perhaps that explains a lot about Bethesda's err... History with broken technology.
And now Bethesda is bought by Microsoft...
No. It's Bethesda. It's not shit, it's a feature!
Weaver has had less and less of a role since he sold all his stuff and took a bailout from Altman to save Bethesda by making Zenimax I thought. With a lot of the bugginess starting after that. (Then again I never played OG daggerfall or their old Terminator games so I can't be sure)
After getting stung badly by that really dumb movie called Battle LA, I was watching Battleship and thought, this is even dumber than Battle LA, and walked out after seeing like 1/5th of the movie and watch another movie instead. I saved my sanity, my time and my money.
That actually adds another level of hilarity for me, and I already enjoyed the first movie, and dumb as it is, as a mindless action movie with decent effects, it's still watchable and I don't cringe into oblivion just trying to watch it... unlike some movies of late
I remember watching this at some point.. I think? I completely forgot it existed, I’m glad I was reminded of the most forgettable movie I’ve ever seen.
I still remember when I first saw the trailer for this movie, that first line that said, "We always knew they'd be back". And like that they lost me, because they couldn't even get out the gate without massively retconning the original film. So glad I skipped out on this mess.

I probaby wouldn't do that IRL. If anyone cared about me, I'd hopefully avoid the Jumanji "what year is it" look.
Danijel Ujčič maybe someone let him go to the hairdresser to get his ends trimmed after he woke up/recovered?
I thought they mentioned his SO doing the trimming while he was out. And watering the plants. I vaguely remember that when the death scene was happening.
You don't need to be awake for a haircut. Anybody that had a sibling rivalry knows that.
What's actually sad is that there are little ideas that could have been cool in a smarter movie, like Earthlings waking up and drawing the same image as each other, or a ruined world rebuilt better than ever by incorporating salvaged technology from the aliens that tried to wipe you out.. Too bad these were wasted in a movie where the other 97% is so incredibly stupid
I watch the first movie over a hundred times as a child and didn't even understand the plot hole of a human virus infecting an alien computer, it was perfect. Then this.
This came out when I was working at a movie theater, we could see movies there for free and I wanted to see everything that came out so that I could help inform customers about them. I saw this movie for free and still wanted my money back.
😆😆😆
Too bad you cant sue to be compensated for the time lost in life spent watching this garbage like this.
You should've been around in the early 90's for the original, man that movie was awesome and original. Remember back when artists had the freedom to be imaginative rather than check off diversity boxes?
I know that feeling! I remember watching for free some stupid movie about a kid being cloned and wanting my money back or watching Marvel's The Offender's: Age of Ultron for almost zero and feeling it was far to expensive.
Worthy of a popcorn throw
You have to think, when they wrote the script for this, someone honestly wrote in "The Queen chases a school bus at the end", and then stepped back, looked at what they had written, and said to themselves: "Yeah, that's good. Everyone will like that; it's not dumb at all."
And just when you thought Zilla chasing a taxi was dumb haha.
Truth
And then multiple people read it nodded along then shot the scene...in defiance of logic and reason
or the " lets kick some serious alien ass" no one thought that was cringe.
Holy shit I was halfway through your description then I realised I have actually seen it but COMPLETELY forgot!
I currently have a cracked rib and probably shouldn't have watched this video because everytime you made me laugh the pain was intense!
I love how the the alien shields can resist a nuke in the first film, a nuke in the second film, but when the plot requires it, the queens shield gets destroyed by some aircraft guns.
The "aircraft" shot energy weapons designed to work against those shields.
I'm more amused by the fact they actually had a line close to "shot it in her weak point for massive damage!"
The aliens have tech involving energy weapons, energy shields, and space/ fold abilities. And, the ability to harvest a molten core from a planet. Why do they still use a regular drill?
It seems the death Star was the most likely space machine for harvesting planets an their populations. I liked the low energy shot used in Rogue One. This would be effective. Why enter the atmosphere at all? Couldn't a pipe enter the atmosphere an burn up all the planets oxygen? It's only 2% or so lower oxygen an we are all fed.
I was under the impression they are using a powerful energy beam to drill down into the core of the Earth, similar to the beam weapon used in the first movie to blow up the White House.
@@mrillis9259 agreed there were poor tactical decisions made all over the place for a supposed race so advanced they were unbeatable in the entire galaxy that a bunch of apes with projectile weapons were able to outwit them... landing on the planet with their MS was dumb as hell... hell they didnt need an infantry or a fighter squadrun either... our biosphere like u said is so fragile that infecting it or destroying our oxygen would wipe all life out... guess that doesnt make for a good movie longer than one scene for them to wipe us all out in an instant.. shit just throw a city sized rock at us... its killed life here already 5 times.... and its come back... so yeah..... toss a rock at us lol.

Dear Drunkie, you are a marvel of truth! So refreshingly raw and real. I care not for fluffy, frivolous, small and morally corrupt attempts by the modern day writhing regime of Hollywood. Saying that is somewhat blasphemous as I’m from that part of the universe. I am a fan of you. 🙏I don’t care about spelling either.

Mother ship in 1st film - the size of a city. Mother ship in 2nd film - size of half the planet. Mother ship in 3rd film - discount death star.
Discount Guren Lagann, throwing galaxies at us.
What "Third Film"?
@@a.barnard3205 The joke is that if there's a next film, it'll be a bigger mothership again.
The Death Star was only about 100 miles diameter. It was maybe as big as ten of the city destroyer ships in ID4.
Plot twist mothership in 3rd movie is the size of a dinner plate, Aliens adapt to nanotechnology, and slowly eat the planet over 1 million years.That sounds better than this popcorn garbage

thanks for the entertaining content and relatable reviews. "if there are any ladies watching and can verify this, send me your video evidence" damn funny bro
The Jeff Goldblum playing a exaggerated caricature of himself for the last 20 years comment is so true. Getting type-casted sadly happens to alot of great well known actors cause the audience get drawn in cause because they like the personality of the actor, so it's hard for them to get roles that challenge the audiences conception of the actor.
In Michelle Rodriguez's case, she actually likes being typecast as tough chicks, and she likes playing female characters who have a very active role in the story. For R. Lee Ermey and Danny Trejo, they keep getting typecast as one thing because it was the occupation they had in real life and they aren't a very versatile actor themselves. October 21, 2020, 11:21pm
@@adamkalb1 That's good for them. I've heard most actors really dislike getting typecast since it hinders a lot of opportunities. But anyway my main point really wasn't if they like it or not it's more about it sometimes really being bad. Like with Jeff here, he just does exactly the same stuff he always does with seemingly no complexity or much thought going into it, just the same mannerisms and character personality each time. This doesn't mean it's always as bad as this thought. Right now I'm watching Curb Your Enthusiasm and Larry David as Larry David is just fantastic, much more complex and interesting a character so even if you've seen him doing the character so many times he still nails it, and it always feels like a character and doesn't feel like the the actor just showed up and was told to just be himself like there's not any meat to his character on its own and Jeff's personality is the only thing when they try to sell the character to us as a audience.
5:05 "Chinese government officials are highly trained, efficient, and deeply concerned with protecting human lives." *cue picture of Chinese re-education camp*
*Chinese organ farming internment camp
Sounds like communist propaganda to me
Highly trained and efficient? Probably. Deeply concerned with human lives? Probably not.
Chinese official: "We care deeply for all humans. We just dont consider those beings in the camps as human."
this was definitely the funniest part of this review. Also a bit sad
4:10 LOL Yes! The best thing you can say about Jeff Goldblum is that at least he's not Nicolas Cage. Although, he's been playing Comically exaggerated Jeff Goldblum for at least 30 years, if not 40.
I saw this in the theater and walked away with the same feeling....not being able to process what I just saw.

I see you're a man of culture as well!
Honestly if I can give this movie credit for one thing, it's that they reverse-engineered the alien technology. Seriously, I can't think of any other sci-fi movies where after blowing up the Big Alien Bad, people actually picked up the debris and said "Hey, let's use this shit."
Isn't that the Vulture's whole business model in Spider-Man Homecoming?
Your right, it’s kind of strange that in the Predator sequels the humans have not reverse-engineered the technology that Predator has left behind after a brutal fight that he lost in the first and second movies.
@@luisvelez1952 I'm pretty sure that in Predator 2 they actually did have some tech based on what they found after Arnie's fight in Predator 1 or, at the least, they had analyzed it but ... yeah there would be a department set up for that for sure.
I LOVED that. Unlike the MCU where there's alien shit EVERYWHERE but absolutely none of it percolates anywhere, because OBVIOUSLY the superheroes and villains are the only people with any actual agency. It's a very SMART movie in some ways...just overshadowed by how hilariously DUMB it is in others, much like the original (which is super-dumb, too).
@@luisvelez1952 In the first one there was nothing left, the alien blew itself up with the equivalent of a small tactical nuke --presumably to prevent that very thing from happening.
I watched this movie on a plane, and they only thing I can recall is Judd Hirsch driving a bus. Nothing else stuck. And I actually thought I imagined that ridiculous bus scene. This may be the worst movie since Mars Attacks. And that it took hundreds of millions to make something so awful is awe inspiring. Toilet Duck must have been pumped into the water fountains.
Can't believe A-Train became a pilot after his time with The Seven.
I always liked the way people treated Randy Quaid like he was crazy for believing in aliens, then after aliens attacked everyone still treated him like he was crazy.

“The Queen grabs the testicle...” Worth the entire 16:46 worth of this review 😂
This ONE sentence would be so odd without context
@@shivamgambhir8388 Even better with the rest of that quote "...and tries to make a run for it."
That testicle is white. The ship they blew up on the moon was also a sphere but black. The main aliens used different designs. The first ship was probably the enemy of the original aliens and wanted to help.or something. If there was a sequel we would learn that we pissed off 2nd race of aliens.

I am very happy to have found this channel. He is very funny and maybe more important is he has been right every time !!!
The best quote for movies like this is from Yoda where he talks about looking to the future rather than focusing on his current task. "Never his mind on where he was. What he was doing!" That's what these cinematic universe people don't get. They're so concerned with what they will build from this that they don't focus on making the foundation firm.
you know what would've been really funny? if the mothership never took off and instead crashed into the earth, completely obliterating it. cut to black, the end. that would've made the film 100X memorable, let me tell you.
100 times 0 is still 0 man.
