First of all...what is this movie even about??? This is nothing like the first one. The first one had some humor and was lighthearted compared to this one. This is super dramatic. This is way more of a war movie and less about the aliens. I feel as if the title doesn't really fit the plot? On one hand it is interesting to see how the aliens are adapting to life on earth, and how they mass produce and evolve. And I even liked the idea of the soldiers having essentially 2 enemies and seeing their strategies of how to manage both at the same time. I think it would have been cool if the monsters killed some of the enemies but it seems like they just wanted to mind their own business. Probably one of the most intense war movies I have ever seen. The acting in the beginning was really bad and cheesy but you forget about it after the first quarter of the movie. I can see how soldiers come home with PTSD. How do you go back to civilization after that?!?! If you want to watch a movie with somewhat of a happy ending, then this isn't the movie for you. If you want to watch a movie with aliens, this also isn't the movie for you. I wouldn't even consider this a horror movie. Not terrible, worth the watch. I gave it a 6 because the acting got much better.
