Goofs

When John returns from the woods, he opens the driver side door of his truck. The window changes from open in the shot from outside the truck, to closed in the shot from inside. Then, when he drives off, the windows is open again. This was possibly done intentionally to avoid reflections of the camera crew, but it is still a continuity error.

Bad idea from start to finish

The first movie is asking all the right questions about being human.... This is just a stupid money grab... I watched the whole movie, just to wait for the moment when it was worth it, but it never came. The first movie never needed a 2nd movie.... And this movie just shows why that is such a bad idea.
