Alien at the Movies

Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) & Christian Grey (Jaime Dorian) are back for the second semester of kinky sex 101. Ana has a new job & boss but Christian wants her back. Of course, Ana reluctantly agrees but on her terms. However, she begins to have doubts as she is faced with things from his past. Can he change for her? Can she change him? Is this going to to be a real relationship or just a game of ownership? Is there marriage in their future? Will her exposed breasts & his naked butt be erotically stimulating or uncomfortable voyeurism? Do all of her bosses want to sleep with her? Disappointingly tame or I can't unsee that? This couple still lack any real chemistry together. This uninspiring script is predictable. Marcia Gay Harding plays the adoptive mother & Kim Basinger plays a Mrs. Robinson type influence. It didn't seem darker, just about the same & easily forgettable. Look for third semester previews in the middle of the credits.

Alien gives it 2½ "no more rules, no more punishments, & no more secrets" stars out of 4.
