Dir: Daniel Petrie
1988
***
Ron Howard's original 1985 Cocoon was quite lovely and a sequel was quite unnecessary. Indeed, there is no story here, nothing new is explored and nothing new is gained. However, it's really nice to see the elderly cast from the original film back on screen together one last time. The acting isn't all that great, the effects are laughable (but lovable) and the sentimentality is quite sickening but they're the last of a generation that I for one, greatly miss. Pointless and of low quality, but a film I can't help but love.
