I would have watched a whole movie just about the machete-wielding African warlord fighting surviving aliens. I feel like the sequel skipped all the interesting stuff and went straight to everyone's boring kids.
I, I, I, what? I suppose it's plausible if you think it's reasonable that the alien computers were using an Apple operating system.

Why did it stop? If it needed the core why not just smash into Earth at full speed and pick up the core without problem.
I don't mind the idea that in the immediate aftermath of the attack if one of the downed city destroyers has many survivors in it and has to be purged. This could be a film all in itself. The aliens begin to swarm nearby towns and villages and kill the inhabitants. A joint international task force that exists prior to the ESD forming is summoned by the United Nations to eliminate this threat. The initial part of the attack is to napalm the aliens from the air using remaining bombers. This does work to some extent, but some of the aliens have surviving plasma weaponry to down the aircraft which requires ground forces to go into the hull of the downed craft and purge. The alien insurgents ambush these individuals and kill many of the ground forces. Eventually entering the ship, much is learned about the culture of the aliens, such as the fact abductions were happening. Some of the aliens may have ground weapons of their own which survive the crash. Perhaps even the primary weapon of the ship survived intact enough to use as a last ditch effort to fight back which threatens the lives of thousands of innocence nearby. This device is destroyed fully before it can be used again. Even after managing to clear the hull of the craft from air and on the ground, the need to chase more of the alien survivors into some dense environment like a forgotten mining complex, a forest, or otherwise. They have to purge the survivors in one on one combat.
There could even be a television spin-off series where we watch ESD forces hunt down and eliminate the remaining aliens and imprison the survivors at Area 51. This occurs in different locations around the world as more is learned about the alien background. If Roland Emmerich and Fox were more into franchising I could see video games, books, and more with this series.

Does anyone agree that the filmmakers and the studio waited too long to do the second one?
