The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is a complete rip-off of the first movie, the first half of the movie has nothing to do with the plot, in said first half we concern ourselves with the dating lives of our characters, there's a crossfade in the middle of a conversation that has no purpose at all, there's hundreds of hidden and unhidden messages about the environment and global warming, there's a black guy singing an awful song in a bar, there's naked scenes of our female characters (this time we even see their breasts while they change and we see them fight the birds toplessly), a hot girl we spent some time with gets killed, the characters run out of gas near the end of the movie, they try to fight birds in stupid ways (I should point out that while they tried to scare the birds away with hangers in the first movie they use an umbrella, ?parasol sticks?, their feet and hands and T-SHIRTS!! this time) and the movie ends with the birds leaving with no explanation why whatsoever.There's hardly any difference between the two movies to point out, but one of them is that all the ads on the streets, all the faces of people walking around and all the numberplates of cars are blurred out. The most obvious difference though is that this movie has zombies who can be killed even though they're already dead climbing out of graves during the red rain...The plot is even more stupid this time. While in the first movie birds were flying into town and started attacking, this time around there's red rain that they emerge from and they can enter buildings for some reasons... Oh and the death scenes look even worse this time and so do the fake wounds.There's so many ludicrous unlikely events, like our main character, who of course is a movie director meeting an actress AND someone who finances his new movie in a bar, the director running into the same actress from the bar on the street, just like in the first movie and our characters meeting the man living in the woods againAnother thing that's JUST ludicrous is that our characters are concerned with discussing their next movie right after the first wave of the birds attackingRemember how the first Birdemic hat constant short moments of complete silence after the characters got their lines out? This movie improved on that, it only happens two times. Talking about sound, the car sounds are so loud at times that you can't understand what the characters are saying.There's a subplot about a woman being attacked by a jellyfish while she's swimming in the water near the beach. We actually see the jellyfish attack her in an underwater scene made in front of the fakest greenscreen ever. It's hilarious when the incredibly fake CGI jellyfish shows up. The attack was animated so lazily, they didn't even take the effort to animate the jellyfish's tentacles, they just move the jellyfish back and forth in front of her legs. For some reason she can run to the beach and out of the water even though she's severely injured which we see some seconds later. One of our characters says the ludicrous phrase "giant jumbo jellyfish", they call the ambulance and the CGI anbulance car that escorts her to the hospital looks almost as fake as the CGI birds who look even worse this time around. To be honest, that scene was hilarious.I took the liberty of writing down some subplots: The movie our characters are planning to make, the jellyfish, the semi-sex scene of the two stone age people being interrupted by birds attacking and the three most stupid high-fives you will ever see in your lifeBirdemic 1 was unintentionally hilarious because it failed at every possible level even though it was people actually trying to make a good movie. That's what made the first Birdemic so funny and entertaining. Birdemic 2 was people trying to make a bad movie on purpose because of the hype about the first Birdemic, that's why it's NOT funny and entertaining and just even worse than the first one.I want to end this review with a funny fact: During the bird invasion our characters stop in front of a movie theater. There's a poster of the 2011 movie "The Abduction of Zack Butterfield", which currently has a 5.0/10 rating on IMDb, no rating on RT and a 6% rating on Metascore.

Ι proudly admit to have watched this masterpiece of a movie. The effects and cgi were just astonishing and the SFX sound was... breathtaking. It is indeed a horror film,nothing like what you have seen. The best horror movie I have ever seen. Horror movies like Psycho,The Exorcist,Seven are nothing compared to this movie. Oh, I should mention also the incredible acting... Its just astonishing to watch the lead actor acting the hell out of it. The way he walks and speak... its pure magic. Also, I loved the ecological messenger of the movie: "Don't cut down trees to make toilet paper". A movie you must watch before you die. It is NAWWTTT even a movie. Its a whole experience that's going to alter your life.

After much anticipation from having seen "Birdemic: Shock and Terror", I thought that there wasn't a chance that James Nguyen could outdo himself. I was wrong. The cinematic subtleties, the passionate acting and the heartfelt messages are all back, and "Birdemic 2: The Resurrection" almost puts its predecessor "Birdemic: Shock and Terror to shame.What is the definition of a good film. Is it a high budget? An epic plot? Perfect camera-work? If you answered yes to any of those, then you are one of the 99% of moviegoers who simply do not understand film. Whilst "Birdemic 2: The Resurrection" may not have the highest budget, or the most expensive cameras, it goes a long way to prove to anybody: no matter how closed minded, that good cinema takes heart and soul- not money and special effects.The calm beginning is set in harmonic juxtaposition with the eerily spooky latter half of the film- and this beautiful contrast is only added to by the dynamic counter-play between the superb leading cast.Beautifully cinematographed and perfectly executed: the heartbreaking ending rivals those of even the highest class of cinema: making "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2" to shame in terms of cinematic art."Birdemic 2: The Resurrection" adds to Luke Nguyen's impressive resume including the much under-appreciated "Birdemic: Shock and Horror", firmly cementing him as a true master of the romantic thriller genre, and as perhaps one of Hollywood's greatest visionaries.With each film of his seemingly improving twofold, one can only imagine what drama will lie in his next film: possibly the conclusion to the "Birdemic trilogy": "Birdemic 3: Sea Eagles". With Sea Eagles being a real species in Vietnam, I myself can hardly wait.Bravo, Nguyen: Bravo. You are a true auteur.
