Occupation: Rainfall

Wanted to like this film but can't for the life of me understand how it rates here as well as it does. Started well but soon deteriorates into a chaotic mess. Most of the effects and live action sequences are confused and lack impact. The performances are amateurish to acceptable. Over long and still there is "Chapter 2!" - Makes one appreciate "Beyond Skyline".

I am a little apprehensive about the authenticity of the reviews on this page. This is an honest user review with no affiliation to the film.

This movie is action-packed with some incredible CGI and was, overall, relatively entertaining. The story-line was not fantastic but okay, by all standards a typical alien invasion must-save-the-world-at-all-costs vibe. However, it was unfortunately let down by some very sub-par acting (unfortunately by some of the main characters), some bad script and so much flashing/CGI/chaos during war scenes that it was sometimes hard to keep up with what was going on (perhaps deliberate to create drama but sometimes felt overdone).

Overall, I would say that this was an improvement on the first film (particularly in terms of CGI and overall production quality) but still lacked in its choice of actors and script.

I honestly question the truth behind some of these reviews. Very apparent that they don't match the film once you watch it.

Bad acting, uninteresting storyline and just tries too hard.

I walked out.

I'm not going to rate this highly just because I should support local talent. Let's call an apple and apple and a sub par movie a sub par movie.

Not good.

For Pete's sake, so much elitist posturing. A movie can just be fun, and this one is. Yes, it's your standard alien invasion movie, but it has amazing visual effects, neat makeup and most importantly, rousing excitement. If this was a horrible film, I'd say so. No, I don't work for the studio. No, I'm not friends with the director. But as much as I love Seven Samurai, I can also appreciate having a good time. So chill out and have some fun!

This isn't 10 stars nor is i 1 star - so ignore those reviews. If you saw the first movie then you are getting nothing better than that. The acting is quite poor as is the camera work. Just know it's 2 hours and a bit and it never quite gets any good at all.

Australians can make impressive movies (go see The Dry) but this one is a bit embarrassing and shouldn't be in cinemas, should have gone straight to Netflix
