INDEPENDENCE DAY may have come out twenty years ago, but in many ways it's still the benchmark for big-budget alien invasion battles. With Roland Emmerich's long awaited sequel nearly here, it's looking very likely that INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE will raise the bar yet again by providing us with what could be the biggest alien battle ever seen…until INDEPENDENCE DAY 3 comes along of course. We've got an exclusive INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE featurette for you which features the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, which is where Emmerich is staging humanity's "last showdown."
"Get ready for a close encounter!"
A synopsis for INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE:
We always knew they were coming back. After INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global spectacle on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.
INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE will hit theaters on June 24, 2016.
