I always figured they do a sequel with another invasion by the same alien race after they hear of the demise of the first ship that came in. But maybe this time actually get a ground war going, a la Battle: Los Angeles. Would that make sense? I haven't watched ID4 in forever, so I don't remember if they were like a nomad race and that mother ship was their entire civilization, or if they had a home planet. Not sure if they ever explained that or not. But to me that seems like the only way to go. I mean, how likely is it that we'd get invaded a second time by a completely different alien race?










ID4 is the template of popcorn special effects fun event movie. It hit at the right time doing the right thing. I wouldn't think it needed a sequel but if the original guys think they can, then go for it.
