A waste of 2 hours of my life. Thought I'd watch to the end but there was no ending. Horrible. Do not recommend

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.

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...

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.

A formulaic and predictable storyline, with no plot twists or surprises. A linear story.
The usual petrol bomb explosions for everything, fine if you like that sort of thing.
Alien costumes have some good aspects, sometimes there are major faults (clearly see human face behind).
As for realism of how the fighting is conducted in the story, with jet aircraft operating unmolested from pristine runways after allegedly years of fighting, that is laughable. The film can't decide if it wants to portray an Independence Day style combat of intact forces, or a Terminator style urban guerilla war, or Mad Max convoy being hounded by aliens who can't aim for toffee and that somehow finds a narrow clear road through acres of rubble without any destroyed vehicles blocking those behind. In hand-to-hand fighting some of the elite aliens (who again couldn't hit a barn door at ten paces) manage to get knocked out with barely a scratch.
With this film you have to suspend all disbelief, lock it away in a cupboard, and just let the nonsense wash over you.
On the positive side, there is some good heartfelt acting that shines through and one or two humorous characters to lighten things up.
