Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review A huge amount of special effects sequences on such limited budget...but it's rubbish. Jul 9, 2021 Full Review David Stratton The Australian On a purely technical level it delivers the goods pretty effectively; there are enough explosions and flying bodies to pass muster. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Nick Dent Time Out Sometimes even cheesy movies can be a perfect distillation of the zeitgeist. Rated: 3/5 Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Daryl MacDonald InSession Film Rainfall comes some way short of success, but it looks beautiful and tries hard... Rated: D+ Apr 26, 2024 Full Review David Gelmini Dread Central With strong central performances and blockbuster-level visual effects, Occupation: Rainfall is a hugely entertaining viewing experience. Rated: 4/5 Apr 4, 2022 Full Review Travis Johnson Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) If Occupation was Red Dawn but Strayan, Occupation: Rainfall is Independence Day and the post-apocalyptic bits of The Terminator, but Strayan.

Russell D It doesn't end!!! 2 hrs to have half a story with no hint of it Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review damian s A waste of 2 hours of my life. Thought I'd watch to the end but there was no ending. Horrible. Do not recommend Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Bruce M Good special effects Confusing storyline Hard to tell good guys from bad guys. Ridiculous sub plots, dont release the alien killing weapon to avoiding killing a few hundred friendly aliens? Silly world building, Alien shock troops invincible to gunshots and lasers go down with a hard push or a punch. And they fight hand to hand with lazer swords, really?? All in all a loser. Your time is too valuable for this one. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Rosana B Gostei do sequencial, entretanto inferior tecnicamente ao anterior, além de não termos o malfadado efeito surpresa do primeiro (o que geralmente faz nos perder o encanto em sequências de filme de suspense/terror), mais explosões, tiros e bombas que o primeiro, o roteiro menos gracioso e emotivo, os aliens são fofinhos e mais simpáticos que os humanos... Nada enormemente atrativo, passa quase despercebido... Regular... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Koi P Good story line and characters. Lots of action. A decent watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Nathan L For the life of me, I can't recall seeing a movie franchise I've ever seen that has redeemed itself like this one has. If you enjoyed the first film, wait till you see this absolute epic! Conversely, if you were disappointed as many viewers were in the first film, again I tell you... wait till you see this absolute epic! I honestly have never officially reviewed a film for the public to see despite rating over 1,000 films on IMDb over the last 10 years or so, despite being tempted to do so many times, ranging from giving horrible ratings to fantastic. Yet this movie here came up against all odds. I only watched this movie because I really quite enjoyed the experience of watching "Occupation", the first film despite its many flaws. It had a really average script, storyline and dialogue, illogical motives, with mediocre directing and acting but incredible special effects and great potential to be another typical Hollywood blockbuster. This movie, "Occupation: Rainfall" however, I expected to be either potentially worse or slightly better. Instead, it far exceeded my expectations, and I was literally glued to the screen from start to finish. If you want to see an epic movie, watch "Occupation: Rainfall", and ignore the bad reviews. If you are one who's not capable of being able to handle a bit of cheese in movies, you could probably even get away with missing the first film, and instead going straight onto this one. If you can suck up your critical thinking however, watch the first film so you can get a greater look into the backstory of Occupation: Rainfall's world and characters. "Occupation: Rainfall" did have a few flaws, but not bad enough to waist my time on criticising. I'm certainly glad I watched the first film, because I would not have had the absolute pleasure of knowing about this fantastic film, and watching it. Kudos to Luke Sparke for enduring much criticism from his previous film, of which I presume he humbly took on board the useful feedback, because if he hadn't, I can't see how he could have proceeded to create a movie of such redeeming value. I rate this film 4 out of 5 stars. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
