” 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 unpredictable force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.”
