There's action aplenty in the latest trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence

"They like to get the landmarks"

There's action aplenty in the latest trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence

“It’s definitely bigger than the last one."

You can say that again Jeff Goldblum.

Two decades on since the landmark-obliterating scenes which befell mankind in Independence Day, Roland Emmerich has upped the ante for the sequel, which sees Goldblum's scientist return to help mankind thwart another alien invasion, getting rather meta while he’s at it.

In this whopping 4.45 minute trailer we’re treated to even more plot detail, with Bill Pullman’s former president becomes a vessel for a captive alien and more breakneck shots of fighter pilot Dylan Hiller, son of Will Smith's Steven Hiller (killed during a test flight) and a young pup when we saw him in the original film, following in the footsteps of his old man.  

They’re baaaaack!
