Movie Review: Occupation Rainfall

Ken Jeong   

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found his entry.  Today, 2021-07-03, I am checking out the 202 flick Occupation Rainfall.  "Two years after aliens land on Earth, survivors from Sydney, Australia, fight in a desperate war as the number of casualties continue to grow."  It stars Dan Ewing, Temuera Morrison, Daniel Gillies and Ken Jeong.  I found this and with Ken Jeong I am going to check it out!  IMDB gives this a 5.6/10 so average.  I think we should go check this out!

• OVER TWO HOURS....what have I done to myself
• So an Alien is with the Humans?
• Ah yes of course they have alien skulls on their tank
• So aliens have laser guns but do not have bulletproof armour?  
• That looked like Glenn from the Walking Dead!
• More aliens?  
• Oh, shit is she a hybrid?
• I do not know if I can take 2 hours of this
• I have no idea what is going on here.  What about Rainfall?  
• Why are aliens with humans?  Like multiple aliens
• They can shoot down alien ships with machine guns?
• Why are Aliens so often Asian sounds?  Star Wars and his movie
• Alien death squad, I like it
• Well that is the end of Sydney
• Why did the alien ships not follow them into the country?
• She is great for morale on that bus!
• "IT WASN'T A CHICKEN IT WAS A BABY...A BABY!"  
• 10 points for those who get that reference
• This is kind of all over the place.  I feel like it should have been a mini-series to let these storylines play out more
• Why are they out running during the day?
• Do the aliens have a fucking sports car?
• How in the blue hell did he do that and get UNDER the car?
• Why is the kid not shooting back BEHIND THEM?!?!
• Is the kid blind and dumb?  How was he surprised when the other car came up from BEHIND THEM WHILE HE WAS LOOKING BACK!!!
• Why do gunners always yell while shooting?
• Why did the alien want to fry him with the car and not just shoot him in the head?
• OH MY GOD, I STILL HAVE 80 MINUTES?!?!
• Oh it is a giant spider thing fantastic
• So these soldiers are suddenly showing up with bulletproof stuff
• The spider thing was designed really well with the rolling attach thing and whatnot
• Boba Fett in an alien flick...weird
• They have a random slight escape from that room?
• It is a concentration camp for aliens.  Sadly it is exactly what humans would do
• Jesus, it suddenly became Agent Smith attacking Neo with all his clones there
• Garry is a badass!
• This is totally human nature and it is sad
• Finally, Ken is in the movie and might make this watchable
• The Motherships look a little like they are from Mass Effect and the Reapers
• I think those negotiations are going well
• HE SHOT HER!  HE IS INSANE!
• Way too many storylines going on in this flick
• Oh shit now we have flaming walking aliens
• This guy is fucking disgusting.  I hope he gets eaten by the dog horse things

This flick was WAY too busy for me.  It seemed to have half a dozen storylines to try and keep track of and none of them very well defined.  I really feel like this should have been a limited series and could have been better.  Time to write these storylines out and whatnot.  Overall I agree with the 5.6.  It was good but not great.  Nothing special sadly.  

PS:  I wrote the above before finding out that this is the second in a series of movies so that is why stuff did not make sense.  It does not change how I feel currently but who knows how I will feel if I check out the first sometime.
