Customer Reviews of Xtro 2: The Second Encounter

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 ;)

not worth your time
I've never seen the first X-Tro movie, but I couldn't find any reference to it in this story. The plot concerns an ultra-secret government project buried under ground. The project is designed to perfect inter-dimensional teleportation using super-computers and superconductive coils. First to go through the process is a team of camera-equipped explorers. When the camera sends back footage across the iso-dimensional divide, we see our intrepid band walking across an otherworldly windswept desert - lifeless....except for a mysterious hemispherical something on the horizon. Nearing the structure, the group begins to black out, cutting off contact with Earth. Unwisely, the project remote-recalls one of the team members, but she hasn't come back alone. Faster than you can say "and Jonathan Hurt, as 'Kane'", the unlucky survivor fatally bears an alien that's hideous and otherworldly (but worldly enough to head for the first ventilator shaft it can find). After bringing in a special-ops team, and Jan Michael Vincent, the project computer seals off the project - trapping our heroes with the beast. The rest of the movie has our heroes navigating the dark labyrinth of the project's interiors, dodging aliens both insidiously small and hideously huge. ... The flick has some nice touches which hint that somebody imaginative was around (especially the idea that all we ever see of the alien world is through the vid-cam; that was probably so they could do it in miniature rather than having to build a set, but the practicality also highlights what horror movies are about - the picture sent back is impossible to satisfactorily explain, much as true horror must be beyond our powers of understanding). Nevertheless, the flick never comes close to matching that promise. ...

So-so
So-so acting, So-so characters, so-so effects, equals a so-so movie. Rent but don't buy.
