Did you know
- TriviaDirect sequel to the Australian film Occupation (2018).
- GoofsIn the first aviation combat scene, RAAF F/A-18 Hornets engage, but leave their formation and Navigation lights illuminated. No Combat aircraft ever goes into Combat with all of its lights illuminated in such a manner. They would point them out for a gunner to track down easily.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Amelia Chambers: [narrating] It's been two years since their mothership arrived out of nowhere, sending thousands of unmanned drones to wreck havoc across every country on the planet. Millions of us died. What came next was the real test. An invasion force, hellbent on destroying what was left of humanity.

Featured review
Talk about milking the action scenes; of the 128 minute runtime of this well-funded B-movie, half is many unnecessarily long, dragged out and pointless action scenes, that are also poorly choreographed.
The other half is the most convoluted and basic-as-it-gets cliched story, from a frustratingly derivative screenplay. There are more plot and technical issues than running-time minutes. If you take every popular sci-fi like Star Wars, Star Trek etc, and throw them in a blender, this is the story you would get.
It's a shame, because the although overused and mostly dated S/VFX, alongside some excellent prosthetic costumes, and for the most part some adequate acting (how the heck did Ken Jeong end up in this?), this film had tons of potential. I never saw the first one, which apparently was much worse than this one, but who if funding this sinking ship? And there's going to be a part 3?! Are the Australian tax write-off's for lost revenue that amazing?
Had writer and director Luke Sparke at least consulted a seasoned sci-fi writer, there'd be hope for a cohesive story that would have continuity - and be exciting. Maybe he'll figure that out for part 3. And please stop that annoying, unfitting and overbearing non-stop score on your next film, I wanted to stick pencils in my ears to stop the pain. It's a very generous 5/10 from me.
