I beg to differ. Without a decent plot the movie becomes mediocre and all you’re really paying for is to watch one side fight another. You could get about the same amount of enjoyment by leaving out 90% of the acting.
Remember the first one wasn’t terribly good either so maybe it’s a trend with this series and/or the actors carried over from the first one.
I think it’s funny how Hollywood blames pirates for profit losses when the real problem is that the public is tired of watching the same crap over and over again simply repackaged and tuned to a different theme. How many *good* sci-fi movies have there been lately that were completely original? They’ve lost the ability to come up with inventive stuff so they take a previous book/movie/theme, toss a bunch of money into CG production, hype it up, and ship it out.
I haven’t been to a movie in years. Their $200 million in CG production doens’t make the $6 ticket price any more worth it.

I totally agree. “film” requires a lot more than good graphics and huge explosions to be successful. They should degrade most of this *edited* coming out these days to something lower than film. Put it in it’s own class of crappy movies. Call it shmovies. Comparing this crime on creativity to a decent movie like Blade Runner, is like comparing a fillet mignon to a piece of cow*edited*. Starship Trooper is on the top of the shmovies all time greatest btw. Great *edited*ing shmovie.
