Attraction 2: El fin de los tiempos

It seems most of the rewievers missed a certain point of both films. 2 Points to be exact. By the title "attraction", one would think they would understand that it is supposed to be a love story. And the second one, the more important one, is that both movies are supposed to say how easily are we humans convinced that something has happened when the media tell us, in other words, how completely and utterly are we dependant on digital technology, infomation technology and how easily can negative emotions and lack of information sway us to acts we otherwise would not commit.

The writers of this movie made a solid research into human psychology, and I like that. 9/10.

Both parts of Attraction are fitting seamless into todays high tech popcorn cinema. They are not better or bader than ,say ,most of the marvel movies. The story is rather simple,the cgi is fantastic and the pace is right for a enjoyable watch.

This movie joins a long and honorable list of sequels that should not have been made but were made anyway because of the success of the originals (think Pacific Rim Uprising or Independence Day 2 ). The sequel dropped the deeper philosophical elements of the original entirely and filled the remaining space with even more action scenes. And if you throw enough action scenes in a movie, some of them will end up being good. Unfortunately this yields a poorly paced, loud, and ultimately derivative movie, though Michael Bay would probably approve it.

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.

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
