It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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.

"Birdemic" is a notoriously bad film that is currently #8 on the IMDb Bottom 100 list. Surprisingly, the same filmmaker decided on a sequel, as apparently he decided to bring us more of the same because there is an odd cult-like following for this bad film. "Birdemic 2" is currently #34 on the list....so obviously James Nguyen didn't learn much from his previous outing.The plot, for what it matters, is about a couple of guys who are going to make a film. However, during shooting, a bunch of ridiculously unreal looking CGI birds start ripping everyone apart. The 'birds' are about as scary as a sock puppet bird and are sad to look at because of the 1990-quality CGI. Additionally, the acting, direction, editing and, especially sound quality, are just awful. However, the director has fun with it this time...tossing in some obviously gratuitous boobs, an almost funny cameo by a couple of tree-huggers, zombies, global warming and inserting an actor playing himself into the film as a guy planning on using this bird attack as inspiration for an upcoming film. So, while everything about the film is bad, at least the movie never takes itself seriously and appears to be a deliberate attempt to cash in on its being a bad film! Strangely enjoyable for bad film buffs but crap through and through.Retrieve

One of the actresses says it: "Bill, you're a terrible shot". They fire and fire and fire and fire and fire and don't hit a single bird for the longest time. And this is inside a closed building. How did these huge birds get inside the building. And why in the world would any of these people, shooting a movie, have guns? And MULTIPLE of the people standing around had guns. And let's wave an umbrella at them. That will help. And when they hit the birds, they disintegrate! The just blow up without leaving any blood of bodies hanging around.That's just one small bit of a horrible movie. Shy in the world is there no negative rating on this site. The birds just hover. They don't attack anyone. Just hover and seem mean but never dive down and do anything. Oh, wait, they figured out now to dive now. Evolution in action!! Oh, here's an idea, let's use Ju Jutsu on them.This is so bad it is not even good. The birds are still flying but they just stop shooting and the birds disappear. Here's an idea. Don't shoot and they will disappear in the first place.How awful. Really a waste of time unless you want a travelogue of the Universal back lot.

The first "Birdemic" movie was horrible, and while "Birdemic 2: The Resurrection" definitely had a major step up in production value, editing and sound, then it was still a complete waste of time.Much similar to the first movie, the storyline is laughable and unfathomably stupid. Prehistoric vultures and eagles emerge from tar pits in Hollywood and start a murderous killing spree.Right, well that was basically the storyline, nothing impressive here, and noting believable.But wait, it gets better. The birds were equally horribly animated as in the previous movie, giving the audience a laugh at how awful the CGI is, and not being even remotely believable for one second. And while we are on the birds, then I was impressed with how they exploded in a red mist when they were shot by guns, but also how they never left behind any dead bird bodies as they died, and most impressively the fact that they could sound like diving airplanes and explode in a horribly CGI animated column of fire when the birds struck a solid surface.The people in the movie were definitely using proper Hollywood guns, because they never reloaded their guns and apparently had infinite amounts of bullets in the magazines. It was just so bad to witness.But it wasn't just all birds in the movie, no... There was also a complete and utterly horribly animated jellyfish that was attacking a pair of kicking legs, that was supposed to be underwater. I use the word "supposed" here, because that scene was so fake in every aspect that my eyes almost started to bleed. And to top it off, there were these laughable surfacing air bubbles sounds. Not even a dead person would be fooled into thinking that it was for a second underwater.And as if badly animated jellyfish wasn't enough, then there suddenly were zombies in the movie as well. Are you kidding me? Zombies? And they were in the movie for about less than 5 minutes.I didn't know that dead people still breathed, but I was proved wrong. Pay attention to a guy in dark clothes who dies on a street somewhere around the middle of the movie; during a close up on him you can clearly see the chest heaving as he breathes.If you have had the misfortune of suffering through the first "Birdemic" movie, then you are in for the same kind of wooden acting, horrible script and equally poorly executed dialogue in "Birdemic 2: The Resurrection". And not even the actors and actresses believed they were being attacked by these poorly animated birds.I am at least giving the movie a thumbs up for the major step up in the editing, sound and production value in general, but it didn't add anything to increase the enjoyment of this movie. As such, "Birdemic 2: The Resurrection" scores a mere 1 out of 10 stars, just as the previous movie.
