In 2015, get ready for the sequel you didn’t even know was coming

With “White House Down” in theaters in a couple of days’ time, and many other movies of the kind in the pipeline, it’s probably safe to say that blockbusters that see Americans on the verge of extinction are suddenly trendy again.

In this context, there’s no better time than the present moment to think back of the movie that wrote the book on such releases, the 1996 “Independence Day” from director Roland Emmerich.

If you don’t know (of) it, you’re too young to properly enjoy the video above, the latest from Honest Trailers.

It is, without a doubt, the best Honest Trailer so far, in that not only does it point out the uselessness of remaking the film or even coming out with a sequel for it, but also the naivety that prevailed in the original, as regards certain themes and tropes used in it.

Enjoy!
