"Which part?"
"All of it."
This direct follow-up to the hit Australian film Occupation brings back the same director and most of the original cast, taking the story two years on as our embattled heroes continue the fight against the invading aliens who now have the upper hand across the world. It hits the ground running and never lets up, with its big flashy set-pieces played with a surprisingly grounded take on the hard sci-fi genre. There is a predictable central mismatched mission-pairing of star Dan Ewing's hardened veteran with a sympathetic alien (think Alien Nation) plus a hissable pantomime bad guy, and the lively battle scenes mean that a lot of the dialogue is yelled, but the whole enterprise is delivered with relentless action and vigour, ambitious effects (but with some oddly obvious greenscreen work) and is an enjoyable slice of sci-fi action entertainment.
