Attraction 2 - Invasion

1) Take some ideas from Independence Day, Minority Report, The Day After Tomorrow, Titanic and some Youtube videos about Japan's Tsunami. 2) Mix them thoroughly 3) Ignore all the rules for writing a screenplay that works

Enjoy the result.

I had no idea this was a sequel, so that little montage at the beginning of the movie was very confusing to me, I didn't know what was going on and when I figured it out I was kind of uninterested in seeing what would happen next, but I kept watching and was surprised by the action sequences and special effects in the final act of the movie.

I need to see the first movie to fully understand what was happening and to get the whole picture, but as a sci-fi, alien invasion movie, it was ok. Again, a bit confusing for me but I was invested in the story till the end.

The whole water dome sequence was amazing, the best part of the entire movie.

The CGI effects are definitely on Marvel-level and the actors quite good, especially Alexander Petrov - who plays a very original part in this movie in a great manner! The alien-actor though seemed a bit misplaced, but mostly because screenwriter's choices - who were questionable in many places. I agree with other reviewers that action sometimes is rushed out without no apparent reason. And nice grandiose display of Russian military, on Independence-Day-level, very professionally done. As mentioned by others, I recommend watching the first Attraction movie before jumping in the second part, it will help feeling the movie a bit better; and the first part is also quite good.

Don't let the negative reviews put you off. If you're running out of sci fi to watch like me you will be glad you found something

I did like the first one. Not a great film a but an enjoyable different kind of blockbuster. The follow up, Invasion is in the same vein. It doesn't make a lot of sense but it's really fun to watch. the main difference between your average run of the mill american blockbuster and this is mostly in the way the human antagonist are portrayed. There's no evil or villain and you understand why people act the way they are. Most people are not black and white, they're grey.
