Finally watched this on BRD and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It did have the same vibe and rhythm as the first one, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. It felt more like an Aliens/The Thing hybrid due to the role of the female lead. Few negatives from me: the climatic sequence was close to ruin the movie, however, they toned it down on time. Also, I think that what kills some of the enjoyment is that you know what to expect... still, lots of tension finding out who is human or not.

They also introduce a new bit of info on the ability of the alien to replicate that clears up a plot point that was ambiguous on the first one.



I give it an 8/10. (first one being a 9.5/10)

Decent movie!

Still not sure why scientists have all that military hardware just lying about, but it's a silly action movie about 10,000 year old frozen aliens...I'm probably overthinking it!
