I'm actually all for this. Odd because I wasn;t for many years, because while ID4 was a fantastic time at the movies and perhaps the lynchpin of science fiction films in the 90's, I didn't think there was enough substance to the universe to make me care about another one.
My mind has changed now that the film is about 20 years old. The talk about the sequel's premise makes it sound so simple, and so irresistible. It's the kind of thing that even people who have never seen the first film can come on board with.
The idea is that twenty years ago we were invaded by aliens. We won, despite the odds. We unraveled their tech form their crashed ships. 20 years later they return.. but this time we are ready for them. We use their technology to open up a can of whoop-ass!
This premise is remarkably simple, but let's be clear: it's also unique. In almost every other alien invasion film, humanity is completely overwhelmed. That won't happen here. It's never been done before. I hope that the rumors are true. After all, one of my favorite scenes in the original Transformers was the Skorponok scene.. that Skorponok was dangerous but he was no match for the tactics of our Air Force.
