Alright, here’s the deal: Samira’s a young poet fighting cancer, staying in a hospital far from home. She and her cat, Frodo, tag along with some other patients on a trip to New York City to see a puppet show. But really, Samira’s craving one thing – a killer slice of New York pizza. Sounds simple, right? Well, things go totally sideways when aliens suddenly crash the party.

Total chaos hits the city, yet somehow Samira keeps it together and hides out with some folks she meets along the way. The catch? These alien dudes can hear super well, so staying quiet turns into an actual survival tactic. Alongside this British law student named Eric – plus trusty Frodo – Samira struggles through each terrifying day trying to make it out alive.

This film gives us a throwback vibe by taking us back to the start of everything that happened in this series; yep, it’s a prequel alright! We get fresh faces while still hanging onto that intense suspense we’ve come to love from previous films.

Instead of jumping back through flashbacks like before, they just dive head-first into the drama at the very beginning of the invasion. Directed by Michael Sarnoski this time around, expect more action-packed craziness than ever before! Though heads up – it might not quite pack that same deep emotional punch as the first movie did ’cause less focus on deep character moments here…but boy is it still thrilling!
Picture a movie that goes all in on its characters and their relationships. Every scene feels intense and pulls you in because the connections are so real and well-crafted. You’re drawn right into their world, feeling the tension and drama as if you’re right there with them. It’s all about those deep interactions that keep you hooked.
