It’s been twenty years since the aliens have tried to
destroy Earth, and in that time they say that world peace has been achieved
with the help of technology that we just don’t understand. Yet, twenty minutes
into the film, we’re currently into the realms of an African Warlord/Dictator
who is clearly marking his territory. The wisecracks and rivalry seem to have
been written out of this sequel, and the new characters don’t have enough screen
time or experience to recreate the atmosphere of its predecessor. I spent most
of the film identifying whether each character was in the first film and
comparing their new role to pre-invaded Earth. There is a scope for a third
movie to assist the new alien race in destroying our invaders, but I think that
this relationship isn’t explored enough in this film to give it merit. Just two
hours later I was relaxing in the pub with a pint of Conwy’s California.
