Probably, at least we dodged a certain bullet of having his son in the movie
Also, that Dr who was killed by the Alien in the 1st one is back, wth.
Or his daughter doing a song for the film..wow I guess we really lucked out

Without Smith dragging the film down with his nonsense, a Goldblum centric film will only make it more "real" since he's excellent at articulating. Still can't believe he didn't get an Oscar for The Fly, or a nomination at least. Stupid snobbish academy.

Looks awesome. I never took Independence Day seriously. Enjoyed it for what it was - a fun, sci-fi blockbuster.
I like that the weapons/ships have the alien tech incorporated in them.

I did take ID seriously, and I loved it. it is one of the best invasion movies in my opinion, and probably the best movie that capture what it would look like if Aliens did attack with a laser like that.
The street mayhem is some of the best destruction footage there was (Before CGI And all of that) War of the Worlds did really good destruction too, but for being the 90s this was some of the best.
I Loved all the characters from the first one, Even Will so I am happy to see this cast.

I'm glad this is a serious take, and it's so married to the original. There's supposed to be this and one other film... and I assume in this film, the Aliens win and take over or destroy the Earth and the third film could be us attacking their planet... if they have one that is.

I loved the original and that new trailer was breathtaking. This movie is definitely on my to watch list!
One thing that has me wondering how much I could enjoy this film is that part of the appeal of the first one was seeing our then 'present day' technology pitted against the Alien force. This film does something logical in that humans have captured and integrated alien technology but will that be as fun to watch? I'm not sure it will.
the only way they won was with a computer virus. Makes you wonder what they would do now.
maybe a killer App

IIRC our tech in the first film came from the downed ship they used to get into the Mothership.

Okay, I watched the trailer again having been disappointed initially. I'm still not happy with the clean CGI look to the whole thing given how gritty and practical the first was (the main reason it has aged so well) But it doesn't actually look terrible over all. And I will of course reserve judgement until I've seen the movie. ID4 is one of my very favorite movies, I expected something different to this, but I am happy to finally have some more from the franchise. The timeline website they have created is great also.
He was in the trailer, he was just 6ft below the surface
Not quite sure how they are bringing him back, I guess we'll find out.

Huh, yeah I just remembered - he was killed in the first one....

But you never see him killed outright, do you? The Alien just seemed to be killing everyone but him, and then just used him as a microphone. I haven't seen the film in quite some time so correct me if I'm wrong.

No he was dead, save for some kind of miracle.
Maybe he had a crazy scientist twin

Yeah, I remember Adam Baldwin's Major Mitchel character checking his pulse and not getting anything, Okun was staring blankly eyes open as well after the alien released him, but hey, you never know.

Atleast with this movie it's not one we should be taking too seriously. The first movie had it's goofy moments, it is what it is.
It had too many clap breaks. I think the film is excellent, right until they attack and then the film doesn't really know what to do with itself.
