Watch Birdemic 2: The Resurrection For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

As Good As It Gets

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This movie is really not worth the 3.99 you have to pay to watch it legally. There are points where it seems like James Nguyen is just trying to get people to watch it by desperately throwing in pointless nudity, zombies, and cavemen. The audio HAS improved since the first movie, but it still sounds like IPhone 3g audio at times. The signs on buildings are blurred out in many scenes, and it just seems like a very low quality film. You can't just take a bunch of 5 dollar props, a few clips from the internet, and some CGI birds you used in your last movie and throw it all together. The budget just cannot be blamed for this abomination. It is fun to make fun of and to mock. I barely got through the first 10 minutes without laughing at the mockery of a movie this is.

... 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.

I use this site to determine if a movie is worth watching. I saw all those stars and so did so. I may have to review my decision making process, or look at more than just the page one comment.There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie. The characters might as well have shown the pieces of paper they were reading from. The CGI was cartoonish beyond even cheap cartoons. Zombies? where did this fit into the plot line? Neanderthals? No further comment needed there.The only mystifying thing is not that such a piece of junk can be made at all but that it can be released on an unsuspecting public.Yech.

I think that Birdemic 2 is much better and far more entertaining than the original. It's so amazingly bad that you can't help but laugh at the ridiculousness. There is terrible acting, terrible cgi, more global warming PSA's, and even zombies! Rod and Natalie are back, and this time they are helping their friend, Bill make a movie about a struggling actress in Hollywood. Bill meets Gloria and begins falling in love with her. He asks her to be the main star of his film. While filming, the next wave of Birdemic starts up. The group of friends try to stay alive and fight off the fake cgi birds with guns with unlimited ammo and clothes wires. The ending was very anti-climatic. If you want a hilariously awful film in the vein of The Room, ThanksKilling or the original Birdemic, I'm sure you'll love BIRDEMIC 2: THE RESURRECTION!!!
