So far it looks like the creators followed the standard horror sequel recipe: throw in identical elements from the first movie, then amp up the special effects and increase the scream decibels.

I don't mind the crowds in the convention center as much as I hate the epic annual hotel nightmare. If they could fix the Travel Planners system and more hotel rooms were available, I'd say stay in San Diego forever. I need to stay right next to the Con or it stops being worth it.

Disappointing. It could have used a better plot (other than "we made this monster and it escaped") and I would have preferred it be less machine-looking, more of some weird biological hybrid. It's Syfy, it's not like our suspension of disbelief would have been shattered.
