I'm not a fan of films that try to look at aspects of an original film from differing perspectives.

In essence Alienoid: Return to the Future does just that. Its rein-visions and adds to, aspects of the original story. Having watched the first film I still found this follow up horribly confusing. It would have been much better as a clear cut continuance with its own unique but related story.

instead, for this reviewer Alienoid: Return to the Future comes across as fragmentary and as a result difficult to follow. Its not helped by constant shifts between plot elements and characters, with no concise tie in.

Acting is decent, as per the last film, action is reasonable and special effects are solid. That said, the lack of consideration of a cohesive plot lets this film down, very badly.

In summary, its hard to recommend a follow up film that's this fragmented and hard to follow. Not recommended.

Alienoid: Return to the Future is an ambitious sequel that combines sci-fi action with intricate time-travel elements. Watching it was a whirlwind of excitement and confusion, as the film's fast-paced narrative often felt overwhelming.

The visuals are stunning, showcasing impressive special effects and vibrant cinematography that truly enhance the viewing experience. The characters are charming and well-developed, which helped me connect with their journeys despite the complex plot. The film's brisk pace kept me engaged, though I occasionally found myself lost in the intricacies of the storyline.

While it builds upon the foundation of its predecessor, I felt that the plot could have benefited from clearer exposition. Some moments of humor felt forced, but genuinely funny scenes provided much-needed levity amidst the chaos.

Overall, Alienoid: Return to the Future is a visually captivating film that offers a thrilling ride for fans of the genre. It left me entertained but also wished for a more coherent narrative to fully appreciate its ambitious scope.
