Invasion (2020)
7/10
A huge improvement compared to the mediocre 1st film. Enriched scenario with AI thriller, lots of suspense and great effects! Recommended to all fans of the genre!

Fantasy/invasion movie. Surprisingly, Attraction 2: Invasion I liked and enjoyed much more than the first. The first film, although it had started promisingly, was then very mediocre, meaningless and the script was all over the place. The second film, however, implicates developed artificial intelligence that targets the protagonist girl as a potential danger in the future and tries to annihilate her. Besides, however, it clearly shows the power and influence that technology has on humans and from them wins a lot in the script from my point of view. Extraterrestrial artificial intelligence completely controls digital communications on earth, but also all audiovisual media, producing fake videos and speeches such as to incriminate the protagonist and execute it themselves. This alone could become a film in itself, a technological thriller about a not-so-distant future (AI made fake videos are already a reality). In addition, the extraordinary effects, the whole suspense of being chased by all the protagonists and the action, raise the level of the 2nd film by far compared to the meaningless first. In the negatives obviously the meaningless good alien who is essentially human and by coincidence speaks Russian, a necessary negative since it is a continuation of the first, but also the completely disliked and unnecessary rival who is also continuation from the first. Of the protagonists, only the young woman was good but also her father. Maybe in a 3rd movie things will improve even more and that film reaches the top. Remarkable effort to overturn the mediocrity of the first. It is recommended to all fans of the genre, but unfortunately you also have to watch the very mediocre first film to understand the protagonists and the case.
