n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

This is a very low budget self serving production.While making an Indie film, horribly computer generated birds attack, apparently due to global warming. The acting was bad, the script terrible, the sound echoes, the camera equipment reflects in windows, the dialogue trite, and the CG special effects cheap. I believe this was all by design to make a campy production that comes off more as a bad film than a good camp film.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, brief sex, nudity (Bunnie Barrerras, Amber Hay-Beerfest, Cara Provenza)

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.

... in the same sense that having a terrible cold isn't as bad as having the flu. Seriously, this movie stinks as bad as the first one. The format is the same in that we follow our heroes doing virtually nothing for 40 minutes, then the birdemic happens, and then our heroes drive around shooting birds for the rest of the movie.If there's one thing which can be said in favor of Birdemic 2, it's that the editing is slightly better. But the acting is still totally atrocious, and the main actors didn't seem to learn much about acting between Birdemic 1 and 2. In fact, Whitney Moore's acting ability seemed to have gotten worse. And of course the plot is also nonexistent and the story line is completely ridiculous. And the movie starts out with about 10 minutes of what looks like surveillance footage of a guy walking down the street.The same usual bad camera work is in use for this sequel as well. At times it's obvious a hand-held camera was being used as the shots got a bit shaky. The sound was atrocious, and often the actors' voices were covered with background music, sound effects, or noise (Mr. Nguyen, please invest in a boom mike before making any more movies). In some scenes no effort was made for sound dampening, as the actors' voices echoed from the room they were shooting in.The basic plot makes no sense, as somehow some kind of blood rain falls making all sorts of prehistoric eagles and vultures come back to life from the La Brea tar pits. I guess global warming is so bad it melts the tar and makes dead animals stuck in it come back to life. And somehow even a couple of cave people for good measure. Later in the movie it even makes zombies rise from the grave. All of which our heroes have to fight. Of course, if they didn't think they had to stop and help the weirdest people they could find while driving around in a stolen RV, they wouldn't have that problem. And of course, the ending is as anticlimactic as in the first Birdemic. But we are hit over the head with a bunch of anti-global warming and pro-green preaching. Climate change is a big deal, but nobody's going to win someone over to environmental issues with a crappy movie like this.There are plenty of mistakes in this movie which make it laughable. The actors fire hundreds of shots from pistols, shotguns, and an Uzi, but never have to reload. In the first bird attack scene on the movie set (inside a building, somehow the birds got inside) I counted some 77 shots fired between two actors firing pistols without reloading. And of course with all the birds getting hit and splattering into pieces, none of them end up dead on the floor. The actors constantly have blood on their faces & arms which disappears between shots, and they never actually got scratched by a bird in the first place. The scene in the movie theater where the birds were attacking the moviegoers (again, inside a building), the people were just sitting in their seats being attacked but not running out of the building. And when some people get splattered with bird blood, it makes them fall down and die for some reason. This is never explained. Neither is it explained why the blood rain would make a few zombies crawl out of their graves. Also, in the first movie Rod was a pro-green environmentalist, but in this movie when talking to people about saving the environment he acted like it was a new concept.And of course we have the same kind of animated .gif birds which were in the first movie, which makes it totally unrealistic and unbelievable. It is, though, funny seeing all these "attacking" birds on the screen over a shot of a public park with people walking around nonchalantly.There is a gratuitous boobie scene in this movie, which surprised me since in the first movie Nguyen didn't want the lead characters to get naked in the hotel scene. That scene is actually the best thing in this entire movie.Birdemic 2 is bound to be yet another "so bad it's good" classic. If you're a real masochist, watch both of them in succession.
