I remember when 'Independence Day' hit theaters back in 1996. Me and my buddy went to Movies 6, which is where Planet Fitness is now on the East Loop and 64, and stood in line for about an hour for the premiere.

To this day, President Whitmore's (Bill Pullman) speech still gives me goosebumps.

Most of the original cast is back, including Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Vivica A. Fox, Judd Hirsch, but Will Smith is not, which is disappointing.

Mark June 24, 2016 for the release. Also check out warof1996.com, it gives a really cool timeline of events between the first and this movie.
