I love science fiction movies and whatever comes with them.But watching this I must say I was expecting something else entirely.
Certainly from this kind of movie you cannot expect things to be deep,focusing on matters like the purpose of life but still you can make a serious film even without that.Here we don't get that.I haven't seen the first installment so I had set any standards for it to be met but it was still a let down.
The visual effects were top notch!Besides that,plot,dialogue,acting were poor and at times,many times,silly.People destroying spaceships without second thoughts,black warlords from Africa killing aliens with swords while people with massive weapons drop like flies,old geezers running around pants-less looking like some crazy cartoon scientist,all of Earth's defense gets blown to pieces in mere seconds and their great plan is to fight the enemy off with tiny air crafts...
I can recall more than 10 scenes that were supposed to be crucial for the plot,that were full of cringe and looked completely ridiculous.Like the scene where one of the two weird scientists dies and the other gets angry and at the same time an ace in targeting multiple moving enemies.Or like the nerdy glasses guy who every time he appeared he made the movie worse.It was like this character was from another movie which was being shot in the next room studio and he decided to drop by for fun during filming every now and then,without making any impact and having major personality crisis,becoming from Dumbo Rambo in a few moments.
There was nothing smart about this film.The character development was lacking at least!Thank god it was eye candy so you forgot about all those stuff for a few seconds until something more ridiculous would appear.It gets barely a 5 out of 10 from me.
