Disappointing Mid to Low Budget Sequel
5 May 2008
This film is directed by and stars C Thomas Howell as George Herbert. The film starts 2 years after the initial invasion of the creatures. The Aliens have apparently regrouped and are attacking again. Howell is a scientist who along with another Scientist Victoria (Kim Little); Military leader (Darren Dalton) and Pete (Christopher Reid) must lead to stop the 2nd Invasion. The film tries to add some new layers to the original stories with explanations that the attacking ships are actually living organisms who feed off the humans they zap. They are other additions which they try which does not work. This is a bad movie which possibly could have been better. The special effects were pretty bad with the exception of the pod creatures. All the other effects were pretty below average. Acting was OK (nothing extraordinary) and most of the characters fit the stereotypes of the characters they play (brooding hero who needs to save someone, wisecracking sidekick, etc.)I can not recommend the movie but if one sees it they will realize a better movie could have been made with what they had
