More details on IMDB and Wikipedia 

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) is a 20 year belated sequel to the masterpiece Independence Day (1996). We didn't get back Will Smith, but the production still managed to reunite many original-film cast members.

During the events of the first film, humanity won a war against alien invaders. Those aliens could travel through space but were taken down by a computer virus placed inside an 1,44 MB floppy disk. Now, twenty years later, those aliens are better prepared.

The existence of this sequel does not do justice to the 1996 masterpiece. It completely fails to understand why the first movie worked so well. Unless watching the credits, no one can believe that both films were produced by the same director. Good news, there won't be a third film.
