All it cares about is making as much money as possible. Everything about it feels as if it just doesn’t give a shit about the audience watching it or the people who made it or even the fact that it’s unspooling before us.

Independence Day: Resurgence is the worst kind of bad movie: one that seems indifferent about its own existence.

Whatever the device, it is clear that the film itself will hint at a bigger world.Was it when I chose to leave my home for the movie theater, instead of spending the evening watching TV with my wife? Was it a week ago, when Fox announced it wasn’t screening the film for critics? Was it two years ago, when I convinced my bosses that Vox should review major movie releases? This tease may be in the primary action of the film, or it be something as simple as a mid-credit scene ala the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Additionally, Goldblum hints that the Resurgence will contains moments that hint or tease a future film. For one, it appears that the discussions have already been had before Resurgence has even hit theaters.

Jeff Goldblum's statement seems to confirm that more films are likely on their way. That audience is excited for the upcoming Resurgence, and will presumably carry on their excitement for future films. Dialogue from the movie, particularly Bill Pullman’s famous speech in the final act, are part of the lexicon of our culture, and so future films have a built-in audience. The original film is a pop-culture standard of the 1990’s, due to both its theater success, as well as its ample time on television in syndication. The team behind Independence Day: Resurgence surely knew how excited moviegoers would be at the prospect of another film.
