The Happening 2: Arbor Day

Tagline: Make like a tree and leaf

Synopsis: Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg) is once again stalked by plants, but this time they’re from the future. These future plants are out for blood and they’re self-aware. They send a time traveling plant-bot assassin, Fichus1000 (Arnold Schwarzenegger), to kill Elliot. His only options are to run, or fight. Since he’s humanity’s only shot, let’s hope he chooses fight.

Memorable Scene: Elliot is outside trimming his hedges when he notices something peculiar. He notices what look like various knives protruding from the bush. When Elliot goes in for a closer inspection he cuts himself on a knife and the hedge begins to rustle with what appears to be laughter. Elliot backs away slowly as he bleeds onto the knife-wielding hedge, as it laughs at him manically.

Plot: In the not too distant future, ArborNet, a once flourishing Botanical Preserve has become self-aware and is out for revenge on all of human kind. [Read more…]
