2.0 out of 5 stars In-depth actor performance, April 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Xtro 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw Xtro 2:The Second Encounter when looking for my favorite actor(Nicholas Lea who plays Baines).My first impression was Aliens ripoff, but as I watched it for the first time I saw a storyline which was different from aliens and had potential but sadly was neglected by second rate director Harry Bromley Davenport. Jan-Micheal Vincent gives a decent performence as also does Nicholas Lea but that is about all it has going for it.

1.0 out of 5 stars utter crap, but i like that., February 23, 2004

This review is from: Xtro 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

normally id give a film that i enjoyed so much a high star rating, but in this case i must expose it for the crime it is to movie lovers.

firstly, im a b-movie fan and this one rocked my socks off; shoddy acting, pitiful and repetitive sets, embarrasing dialogue and a 'script' to match. i found the movie a pleasant and fun rollercoaster of action- but thats in my opinion, in anyone elses i can imagine the cruel taste of $2 down the drain to be quite bitter.

bottom line, avoid unless you have a thing for terrible (and easily mockable) films. sadly id have to say this is one of my favorites.

if you DO stumble upon this film keep an eye out on the 'jedburg' actor, that guys going places ;)

This review is from: Xtro 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was tricked into watching this movie. I had not seen the original Xtro. I was not familiar with the dircector. I read only the skimpy SCI-FI description of the movie in the yahoo tv online schedule which read, in total: "The sole survivor of a parallel-world trip joins the woman in charge of another one gone wrong." Endquote! I am a fan of alternate world stories, having had one published. In view of all of the above, I sat down before my 32" tv, put the taped movie into the vcr, and prepared to watch a decent action movie -- I thought. I saw Jan-Michael Vincent in a couple of other movies since his character in "airwolf" and I think he should have quit after the series ended. I found myself fast-forwarding much of the movie wanting to get it over with. I only wanted to see how it came out not what happened to make it come out. Not recommended for anyone. Review based on the vcr recording from the SCI-FI channel January 31, 2005.
