In the original film, the alien shields are strong enough to withstand a nuclear weapon. Even the smaller manned ships had their own shield that deflected all firepower including missiles.

Yet in Resurgence, the Harvester Queen, the most important being, has a shield that can be breached just by shooting at it a lot.

In the original film, President Whitmore telepathically sees what the aliens are doing: they move from planet to planet, their whole civilization, consumingevery natural resource.

In Resurgence, this was retconned. It wasn't their whole civilization, just a small reconnaissance task force.

The musical score pales in comparison to the first film. The Harvester ship is orders of magnitude larger than the Mother Ship from the original, yet because of the effectiveness of the original musical score and how the ships are presented, the Mother Ship and City Destroyers in the first film feel bigger and have a greater sense of awe than the Harvester.

The first movie has been abbreviated "ID4" pretty much since its inception

They mentioned that for the last 20 years there's been a guerrilla war fought against Harvester holdout ground forces in Africa

which is an infinitely more interesting premise for a film than what Resurgence ended up being

Yeah, really. A movie of that badass with the machetes and his men fighting the aliens would've been awesome
