Since being put on a rowboat, told not to drink seawater or fall out, and pushed off towards King's Landing, the erstwhile Gendry has kind of disappeared. Wherever he's gone, it certainly hasn't been to carve out a successful film career with this misguidedly earnest attempt at "relevance" in a sci-fi B-picture his only significant big screen role since leaving Dragonstone.

Dempsie features as one of three soldiers from Detroit on a tour of duty in the Middle East, dealing with insurgents as much as aliens in a desperate bid to seem like the film has something to say about the contemporary world.

Gareth Edwards' low budget African Queen-with-tentacled-aliens original was an interesting and different take on the genre, but this largely unrelated sequel from Misfits director Tom Green offers nothing new and quickly settles for a heap of war movie clichés in which the eponymous monsters are often reduced to background details.
