Alienoid 2 Back to the Future seen.
This was so confusing. The quick review of p1 at the beginning got me even more confused. Too many characters jumping back and forth through time, some possessed by alien prisoners, some daoist sorcerers from medieval times. The aliens have tentacles that pop out like spear whips - so much tentacle action.
At some point I just gave up trying to follow it that closely and just enjoyed it for its action and humor. And the final battle is over the top - like a comic book movie finale on adderall. The pratfalls are mostly slapstick with some comic relief sorcerers and a pair of magic cats but it got a giggle out of me.
It does resolve everything. Someday when I have nothing to do (like that ever happens) I’m inclined to watch both films back2back. But for now, I’m going to give the finale of part 2 a total D00M recommendation on the grounds that you don’t watch the rest before it. Just jump into the last hour of part 2. It’s a wild ride.
Seen on Hoopla.
