Review of Birdemic 2: The Resurrection (2013) by Derek P — 25 Aug 2016

Birdemic 2 is an almost carbon copy of the first movie. The first 10 minutes are an almost shot-for-shot remake with new characters. The plot is similarly slow and meandering (same environmental message).

Somehow, the sound design hasn't improved an iota, even with a substantially larger budget. This begs the question: is director/producer/writer James Nguyen aware of how bad the first movie was, and was he deliberately plagiarizing himself to make more money, or is it not possible for him to make movies in any other way? Indeed, isn't the quintessence of so many bad movies complete unoriginality? We'll have to wait for Birdemic 3 to know for certain; in the meantime, there's still plenty of cringe to enjoy/suffer through in this unoriginal sequel.
