Who likes the classic Independence Day?................. This guy!   
 
I remember when I was in my teens, I would watch the movie numerous of times and my parents would always roll their eyes saying, "Seriously? Again?".....  
YUP! That's how much I loved it..... to be honest, the graphic wasn't so pretty like today's graphic but for some reasons, I like the classic picture... in some 1990s style. You get the feeling when you watch the classic movies that were made in 90s and say, "Ahhh, I miss this... I'm in mood for some alien-killing time!"  
 
Anyhoo, I want to check out the new Independence Day 2 and 3 movies.  I'm pretty sure the graphic would be a lot neater than the classic one.  
 
What is your opinion on this new upcoming movie, ID2 and ID3? What would it be like? Would it be against aliens or some kind of new creatures/hybrids?

LOL! at parents 
  
I hope so they would be neater than the classic one.  
 
Would it be a coexistence of alien and human or a peace treaty between them in the earth and alien's homeworld as well?

I love the hell out of Independence Day. It's one of my favorite movies and I actually think the visuals hold up really well. They didn't use much CGI in the movie, so it doesn't look too dated. And I am of course looking forward to the sequels, provided they actually happen and have Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum.

I just watched ID4 on blu-ray and that move still kicks serious ass. Nothing really comes quite as close to it in terms of epic-ness.

What's this about sequels?
