Watched the first movie and had to see the sequel, although most reviewers here warned against it. Let me say I was as stupid as the Aliens in this sequel. Although I don't think it was the worst movie I've seen, and I didn't consider it a complete waste of time, most of you probably will, so be warned. Although the actors in this movie weren't that bad, their script was. Jack, the programmer, was no programmer, believe me, I am. If I would act like this guy in my office, I would be sacked for sure. And then the characters... this guy is upset about the death of his step brother, he hasn't seen in 7 years, and who he kind of hated. To top it off, he goes to bed with the very first woman he meets in a bar who feels sorry for him. Though the nudity involved in this scene was nice, it made the whole character unbelievable. At a certain point Jack gets drugged by the Aliens. And guess what, this drug isn't strong enough to keep him sedated, so he manages to escape, because they didn't tie him up. How stupid can these Aliens be? Who write these scripts? One more point, at the end of the movie, Jack is able to program a device, which acts like a giant vacuum cleaner. How is he able to do that? No security there? My notebook is equipped with fingerprint checking to keep out strangers, and this computer who programs these dangerous gizmo's isn't? Who write these scripts? If you got time to waste, watch this movie on TV, but do yourself a favor and don't waste money on it.

After seeing the Arrival I was looking forward to this one. I notice that the studio claims proudly that they only spent a quarter of the budget on this film that they did on the first one. And it shows it. The casting was bad, the acting is laughable and the script was downright idiotic.The premise here is that sometime after the end of the first film, Charlie Sheen's character is killed off. He leaves clues for his brother to find out what is going on. It is all down hill from there. The sfx were OK but that is about all. they really wasted five reels of Kodak film stock on this one. I'd safely say give it a miss, unless you are a glutton for punishment.

This sequel could serve as the archetype of all bad, low-budget sequels to decent first films. The actors, in particular Jane Sibbett, mostly seem as though they'd rather be doing something other than playing their roles-- vaguely distracted and somewhat wooden, with exception of Patrick Muldoon, who in the lead must nevertheless settle for a thoroughly one-dimensional character.The plot is an uninspired alien-conspiracy-theory rehash of the first film, minus the much more throughly crafted suspense, the special effects are scant and include an underground alien-lair scene lifted 100% from Arrival I footage, and even the agonizingly dull, obligatory car-chase scene is notable for its low-budget automobiles.This film ranks a solid "1" -- but see it for the sake of laughter if nothing else. It is a delightfully terrible film.

The Arrival II in My honest opinion is just a ok sequel. I was much more pleased with the original as it didn't have any sex or any think like that plus it showed the great looking aliens a lot more and views of the sky.Don't get Me wrong here the movie is not boring or dull its just that I think that the original one is the better of the two but if you like the Arrival and haven't seen the sequel then check it out and see what you think!
