Hot Take: Independence Day: Resurgence's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Independence Day: Resurgence last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Independence Day: Resurgence?
Director clearly thought Independence Day: Resurgence was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Independence Day: Resurgence actually is?
Everyone praising the Independence Day: Resurgence performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
