Customer Reviews of Highlander: The Final Dimension

Great movie Best sequel
This is a great movie and the best sequel to the original. It ignores the fact that Highlander 2 ever happened, and ignores the television series. We're here in 1994, were Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) believes he's claimed the prize. He lost his wife Brenda in a automobile accident, and his adopted daughter Rachael. He's adopted a son. But he founds out that an old enemy who killed a master of Connor MacLeod in Japan, 400 years ago, is still alive. Connor journeys to New York City, the place of the gathering, in search of his enemy immortal, Kane (Mario Van Peebles). Confronted by the immortal, while a researcher(Deborah Unger) searching for Connor watches, Connor is saved when Kane realizes they are on holy ground. While Connor journeys back to Scotland, to train, Kane kidnaps Connor's son, and challenges him, in Jersey City. This fight will actually determine who wins the prize in this dimension of highlander which is ignoring the series and highlander 2. I recommend this movie and Highlander Endgame.

Come on...
...Give this movie a break. Don't be so hard, give it a chance. I thought it was pretty cool and it kept me interested. The great Scottish scenery and luvly music and of course Deborah Unger make a great view. It's not as bad as anyone says. Make your own mind up before reading other peoples reviews and you'll have a more accurate opinion.

The story takes you to many different places, from ancient Japan, to New York and the Isle of Skye. It's great entertainment and Peebles really is hammier than Porky the pig but is there any other way his role have been played? And I really felt more for Connor McLeod this time round than I had done before. He's a great hero.

Andy Morahan pumps up this sequel with some cool MTV-style visuals and cinematography. The colors and lighting maximise the impact of several scenes and some carefully selected tunes make you feel a lot more in this instalment than the other 3.
Sure it's silly but it hardly considers itself as art. It's no more than big, dumb fun. Take this into consideration and I reckon you'll like it.

The DVD has no other features other than a trailer (which isn't the better European one), is in Dolby 2.0 surround and is letterboxed at 2.35:1

The best sequel yet, but nowhere near a good film
Some fans will strike me for this, others will clap me on the shoulder, but in my opinion, HIGHLANDER III: THE SORCERER is the only trustworthy, even average sequel to HIGHLANDER. Let's face it - HIGHLANDER II can't even be considered a sequel, while HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME was a complete waste of potential.

Released in the U.S. as HIGHLANDER: THE FINAL DIMENSION, H3 has immortal Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert, back and better than ever) realizing that he didn't win The Prize, and that some immortals still remain: one of whom is evil sorcerer Kane (Mario Van Peebles). After Kane is freed from a 400-year slumber, he journeys to New York City seeking the Highlander. There MacLeod must do battle again. The game may have changed, but the rule remains the same: in the end, there can be only one.

First of all, let me say that while it's nowhere near a good movie, HIGHLANDER III is very entertaining and actually quite fun to watch. It's almost even a remake of the first film. Everything we want to know is explained (including why we have HIGHLANDER sequels!), and ... *sigh* Deborah Unger is included ...

Surprisingly, the film was also the only HIGHLANDER movie to get a PG-13! (The director's cut, however, is back to an R for a couple of sex scenes)

HIGHLANDER III also bears the most resemblance to HIGHLANDER: THE SERIES, which was, at the time, being filmed. It also features Loreena McKennit's "Bonny Portmore", one of the most beautiful songs ever written, which was featured in H:TS and later in HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME.

For every 1 good review of this film there are 10 bad ones. I think you'll just have to rent it yourself (Director's Cut, only) and see what you think. I thought it was the only reliable HIGHLANDER sequel yet.

The rule still remains: there can be only one. And so far, it applies to the sequels as well.
