The inevitable attempt to repeat a successful formula. There is some decent comedy in the first half hour or so... but after that, the trouble is that all the alien gags that worked in the first one because they were surprising and unexpected and imaginative, are now just a case of “expect the expected”. And then it degenerates into prolonged action sequences consisting mostly of rather poor CGI.

The one improvement in this film is casting Rosario Dawson instead of Linda Fiorentino.
