Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I love the first movie. When I was younger, I couldn't wait to this one. I used to love this when I was younger. I used to love anything that was put on in front of me. I didn't see this for a long time. I recently re watched and I have changed my opinion.The story is OK but there was a lot of things that went way over the top. The acting was pretty pore, especially Patrick Maldoon, who cannot act to save his life. Jane Sibbet was OK, Im used to see her in Friends. The villains were evil but in a laughable way, they just happened to be there when the main characters are running away.The special weren't that good, you can easily tell it's CGI. The direction and filming was good by Kevin S Tenny. The main climax was bad and laughable, thats when the bad acting came in at it's worst.The good thing is the alien designs kept it's originality but the CGI was bad for it.Overall, its average but rubbish at the same time. Please see it by all means but I would rather stick to the first movie.

Kevin Tenney's sequel to David Twoey's highly under-seen 1996 original that involved a secret alien invasion and starred Charlie Sheen is a low-budget, straight-to-video exercise that marginally manages to capture some of that mystery, paranoia and intrigue that engulfed the first feature. It does begin strongly (with most of the striking elements appearing then), but soon becomes routine and a little plain. Tenney's directorial methods keep things down-pat with only sudden ripples of fast paced thrills and brazen stunts in an on-the-run format. Nothing out of the ordinary and the suspense can be uneven, but the scenes are executed very well. However it's Bruno Philip's roaming cinematography that gives it a verve-like boost and Ned Bouhalassa's emphatic music score adds to the high octane bursts. The lack of anything really expansive shows its minimal barriers, but this doesn't stop the aspiring imagination and clever concepts that can be found in its drawn up story. It's probably not as thought-provoking, focused and eerie in the material like its predecessor, and the location-choices here don't have that same lasting effect. Still Tenney's old-fashion tailoring keeps it moving along without any real worries. The computer special effects (which do feature largely) look chintzy and formulate some flat images, but for the budget its stands-up. Well that's if you're willing to overlook it, which could be hard. Set-designs in many sequences can look dodgy and plastic, especially towards the climax. There are average performances with Patrick Muldoon and Jane Sibbett leading the way. Michael Sarrazin engages for a short while. A smoking hot Catharine Blythe and the imposable Mike Scherer get all the fun. Decent, but not a patch on the original.

Lame, poorly written, poorly acted, poorly directed, lame special effects, too many specific problems to list them all. It's a pure waste of time. Which is a shame, because if anyone involved in this movie had any talent at all, they could've made a decent movie from this premise. The only reason it gets a 2 instead of a 1 is the fact it's a sci-fi movie, and I'm a sci-fi fan. Don't worry, there isn't any plot twists or plot to spoil with this review. They do spend a lot of time trying not to get pulled into huge, but poorly defined, and unseen vortexes (sp?) (cue the big fans blowing their hair, clothes, and random pieces of paper around). Am I up to ten lines yet? There should be a five or six line limit, ten is just a waste of 0's and 1's on a movie like this.

It sucks completely. Poorly made. I felt embarrassed for everyone involved in the film. Really bad action shots, terrible special effects. CHEESY, I mean really, cheesy explanation of events. Uhhh, man, give me back my 2 hours!!!!
