Invasion

"Vtorzhenie" is an interesting film with a messy script, but not bad. The special effects and the cinematography are wonderful, an excellent sound design and a cool music score. The direction is fine and the acting is good. The opening credits are totally great. Back to the script is messy sometimes but with good points, there is some James Cameron's influences as some similar scenes to "The Terminator" and "The Abyss". "Vtorzhenie" could be better, but it's an interesting film.

I had no idea this was a sequel, so that little montage at the beginning of the movie was very confusing to me, I didn't know what was going on and when I figured it out I was kind of uninterested in seeing what would happen next, but I kept watching and was surprised by the action sequences and special effects in the final act of the movie.

I need to see the first movie to fully understand what was happening and to get the whole picture, but as a sci-fi, alien invasion movie, it was ok. Again, a bit confusing for me but I was invested in the story till the end.

The whole water dome sequence was amazing, the best part of the entire movie.

Both parts of Attraction are fitting seamless into todays high tech popcorn cinema. They are not better or bader than ,say ,most of the marvel movies. The story is rather simple,the cgi is fantastic and the pace is right for a enjoyable watch.

The CGI effects are definitely on Marvel-level and the actors quite good, especially Alexander Petrov - who plays a very original part in this movie in a great manner! The alien-actor though seemed a bit misplaced, but mostly because screenwriter's choices - who were questionable in many places. I agree with other reviewers that action sometimes is rushed out without no apparent reason. And nice grandiose display of Russian military, on Independence-Day-level, very professionally done. As mentioned by others, I recommend watching the first Attraction movie before jumping in the second part, it will help feeling the movie a bit better; and the first part is also quite good.

It seems most of the rewievers missed a certain point of both films. 2 Points to be exact. By the title "attraction", one would think they would understand that it is supposed to be a love story. And the second one, the more important one, is that both movies are supposed to say how easily are we humans convinced that something has happened when the media tell us, in other words, how completely and utterly are we dependant on digital technology, infomation technology and how easily can negative emotions and lack of information sway us to acts we otherwise would not commit.

The writers of this movie made a solid research into human psychology, and I like that. 9/10.
