Screamers The Hunting.

I like the first Screamers movie. It's kind of a cool sci-fi/horror movie. It has Peter Weller and it's based off a Philip K. Dick story. Part 2 or Screamers The Hunting starts off well. Almost like Aliens. Lance Henriksen is even in it. I was excited. Then at one moment it starts to do just about everything wrong or in the usual seen before manner. You'll know it when you see the one guy make a sacrifice and what the result is seconds later. This is the fault of the director and in many ways the writer. There is a funny part when Gina Holden's character gives a "yes sir" to her commanding officer. Instead of being angry/pissed off at him pulling rank because of her back story, it's a "yes sir" without emotion. She also does something incredibly stupid halfway through the movie which leads to another dumb twist that most talented directors/writers do their best to avoid in horror/sci-fi movies. Another character dies because it's time in the script. They even request for a few moments alone. It's "unreal." The movie even begins to break simple continuity with the original movie. Still, for fans of the first it's worth a watch. It does resolve the cliffhanger ending of the first movie. It also has a good music cue that's used when the troops are returning to their ship and at the beginning of the end credits. It has Gina Holden and she's cool in it right up to the crazy stuff happening. I'll probably get the Blu-ray when it's dirt cheap one day, like below $5, just to go with the original Screamers.
