Independence Day: Crucible: The Official Prequel by Greg Keyes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Okay. Not my favorite book. But it certainly filled the bill for missing information.
We watched, as usual, Independence Day on, yep, July fourth. I wanted to watch our DVD but the machine ate the DVD. Luckily, the show was on Live TV. We recorded so we could watch when we could get together as a group at the same time. We, also, recorded ID Resurgence. Getting all four of us in the same room at the same time is rare. So we barely got ID finished on 7/4. IDR happened on the fifth.
We’d seen Resurgence before and were unimpressed. This time we seemed to be more into the identifying stars and characters from before. That’s when we noticed that there were characters that seemed to be important but were unknown to us.
My husband watches shows with Google ready. It was when I asked him who is that and why are they supposed to be important? I don’t remember them from ID.
This book is the missing piece. Though it isn’t exciting enough to have a movie of its own, without it Resurge keeps you wondering. Maybe this should have been a series of three one hour shows? At any rate, this helped make the final show make more sense.
On the other hand, I am no more interested to rewatch Resurgence now that I know what I do. And it seems this could have the possibility of another movie or two as we learn more about aliens of all kinds and the hope of global cooperation.
So, it’s worth the read.
I’ve only seen ‘Resurgence’ once, when it first came out, and that once was more than enough. It is, in my opinion, unadulterated garbage.
I watched it the first year it came out and was horribly disappointed. Since we’ve reached desperation searching for things to see we decided to try again. We had so many questions as we watched, we had to research everything. That’s how we learned of the missing book. Though all those characters you’ve never seen before are slighty introduced, it just seems hokey. Now that I’ve read the book, I don’t feel the need to rewatch. I just understand more. Resurgence still has a long way to go to reach the first film’s level of perfection!
I have never seen resurgence and it is on this evening perhaps I should watch it 💜💜💜
If you can record it and read Crucible before it will give the movie more meaning. It doesn’t take long to read I did Kindle but I wonder if the Audible would be better.
I might look up audible and check it out 💜 it will stay on 4more for a while so I can watch it when I want … I will take your advice 😁
