Their plot to win the war is to let the queen know that the good guy alien is chilling in desert on Earth. But here we go: 1: The super advanced good guy alien ship shows up, where it has supposedly been on a special planet specifically training to fight the bad aliens, but then gets shot down by Earth military in seconds. I watched this movie in theaters so if I had written this rant a few months ago it would be more concise. The result was constant bathos and the same kind of numbing over-the-top CGI action that has plagued movies like Transformers for years.Īll it did was make me want to watch the original again.
It felt someone had watched the first one and made a rigid checklist for characters and moments. That was its biggest flaw it was so cynical.

Sure, they had some breakthroughs to crack the shell, but the whole queen part was Hollywood crap and hints at a larger universe felt like a cheap way to quickly set up a franchise. a big shootout, in which they shot the queen a lot to beat it. The climax was also a joke the first one was great because the humans won after finding and exploiting a fatal flaw in an otherwise lost war. The cameos from returning characters lacked weight (Goldblum was totally wasted), and the young cast and their Hollywood heroics went too far the other way and ended up as saccharine nonsense. I know that they were going for the same 'quirky B-movie characters' vibe as the original, but that's just it they tried to do the same thing. But the characters were all by-the-numbers you had the cowboy heroes and nutty scientists, sure, but the accountant guy who tags along was pathetic, especially in the end where he grabs the gun and starts slaughtering everything in a moment that had me cringing at how much they wanted me to cheer. It started badly with Liam Hemsworth's character going through the undergrad script motions of 'is ordered to do something but disobeys to do something brave and save the day' but nonetheless had an adequate first half the scenes in Africa had potential especially (Imagine a whole movie set around exploring that one ship? Would have been far more interesting). Argh, I know this is nothing new, but I thought it was absolute trash.
