At that time, I summarized the reasons why I like it. One is that it is innovative, blue light attracts people, and the brain transplants from living people to aliens are very fresh, and the shooting angle is good, instead of showing the big scene blindly, it uses the protagonist and a group of people. To see the leopard from the angle of view, let the audience feel more immersive.
Strictly speaking, this film cannot be regarded as a sequel, because the beginning of the story is parallel to the first part. It starts before the aliens invade, but later has an intersection with the protagonist of the first part. Some of the mysteries in the first part are also well explained later, such as the relationship between aliens and humans (seems like the explanation in Alien is similar, they all use humans as crops), the follow-up of the first male protagonist, and so on.
What's more surprising is that Iko Uwais and Uncle Mad Dog were added. This complicates the film's temperament. The American police and Indonesian Silat masters fist open the aliens in the biomechanical armor in the beautiful Southeast Asia together. This cult power is simply overwhelming.
A fly in the ointment is that during the fight between the two male protagonists, they were all covered in mud a second before, and the next shot was clean.
Another uncomfortable thing is this ending, which blasted the alien mothership. Isn't the third part ready to be filmed?
