Summary: JUST PLAIN TERRIBLE !
Comment: This sorry excuse of a movie honestly deserves 0 stars. When it comes to horror movies I am a huge fan and I certainly don't mind sitting back and watching a film that has little story and lots of gore and suspense. A group of attractive people who are killed off one by one. We've all seen it before and it can be fun escape viewing.
But this movie doesn't even deliver this. They seem to be attempting a plot with the scientists at the very beginning and then the military involvement but the scenes at the beginning that are obviously meant for shock provide nothing as does everything that follows.
I honestly recommend this movie to no one. It is pretty sad when a movie with such low expectations can still fail to deliver.

Summary: Uncomfortably Awful
Comment: As a horror movie enthusiast, I can appreciate the value and entertainment of campy horror and even get a few giggles out of a really awful horror film. However, after viewing this one, I wish to say to any Hills Have Eyes fans and like-minded horror fans out there that this movie is a complete waste of your time.
The essential plot is a poorly hacked-together story of a bunch of rookie army kids are sent out in the desert and attacked by a band of mutants, supposedly the survivors of the mutant clan from the first movie. Through a series of silly mix-ups and extremely poor decision making on the part of our "heros" (shooting wildly and wasting ammo, splitting up in hostile territory, and other such blunders that no decently trained soldier would do), they manage to get picked off easily by the supernatural-seeming mutants.
I really liked the first movie because although it did stretch the boundaries of what's plausible, there was a decent film there. The mutations the mutants sported were "based" off of actual medical science, for example, and in this movie we have a mutant with camouflage skin and a long tongue. And another with an extraordinary sense of smell, like a dog. It really just gets ridiculous.
Of course, the first movie was also actually /frightening/ and had a point. This one is essentially just a showcase for the rape scene that horrified people in the first one, made even more blatant in this time around. That scene may have been disturbing in #1, but it was not the point of the movie as it is in the sequel.
This movie is essentially a complete waste of your time. You can spend a more fulfilling two hours staring at a wall for what I'm concerned. At least this activity won't annoy, insult and bore you nearly as much.

Summary: ive seen better G rated movies
Comment: Once again we are suckered into watching something that bears no resemblance to what was supposed to be in the movie. Torture, its not in there. Rape, not today dude it aint here. Killing, I must have fell asleep when it was taking place. Ive seen more torture, rape and killing in Walt Disneys The Jungle Book. Can someone please give us a real movie that has in it whats supposed to be in it.

Summary: Attempts To Make Political Statement But Fails to Deliver
Comment: I disagree with those who view this as a simple slashfest, detached from the political points about the military and the "American Family" that the first remake constructed so well.
For me, there is a clear parallel between the National Guard unit fighting a deadly, mysterious enemy in a desert environment, and the wars going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. Indeed, the training exercise in the beginning of the movie, in which the raw recruits trust an Afghan woman who is in actuality a suicide bomber, is reprised near the end, when the survivors are asked to trust a mysterious hilldweller who is attempting to lead them to safety.
I am not saying the hillpeople-as-terrorists theme works, just that it appears to have been something in the mind of the filmmakers. They do wind up simply going for the gore and thrills, which to me were fairly well-rendered in the abandoned caves below.
Not worthy as a successor to the excellent 2006 remake, but not as bad as some of the reviewers seem to find it. As they set up yet another sequel at the end, I wonder what's left to do with those crazy cannibals up in Sector 16.
