The aliens were actually used in some cool scenes here but the entire story was complicated for no reason. It could have been such a great story but so many elements were added for no reason with little emotional pay off. It's over the top. It's just too much style and I don't care. Too much effort is put into making it seem clever but it's no interesting. I will say the conclusion was kind of cool but things just happen. Nothing is built up well. Better than part 1 but still, eh.
