...dry, waxy, slightly moldy cheese. What a disappointment as a follow-up to its tangy and piquant first installment. Few salivating thrills, nearly no blood, and sweat that comes from heavy-lifting rather than passion make for some dull, dull, dull scenes this time around. About as delicious to savor as Kraft Parmesan.
This parable becomes unbearable. The alien craft hit an intergalactic pothole and the writers hit an intolerable number plot-holes. The faux-documentary framework is clunky and inauthentic, and the film loses credibility as rational thought and actions are sacrificed in favor of its allegorical imperative. High marks for excellent special effects, action sequences and great performances by the leads actors, though, both human and "crustacean."
