I really loved the first move and so I had high expectations for the second one. While the CGI continues to be on par with big budget movies, the story line was a little bit of a letdown for me. I mean the logic that the AI would violently kill thousands of innocents to get to its targets just doesn't line up with the philosophy of the first movie. I mean the AI in the first movie was very considerate and the aliens followed a strict no intervention code.
If you can look beyond that the movie is a solid effort to continue the story of the first movie. I also like it that it shows how dependent humans have become on their digital gadgets and how easy it is for an AI to fool people. This is definitely the strong part of the story that I enjoyed. However, I doubt that a real AI would just use such a head-on approach.
In summary, the movie is much more action heavy than the first one, but if you enjoyed the first movie, you will like this one as well. Have fun!
