recap represent the fight against the arachnid be not go too well and despite the effort of popular sky marshal anoke . the war effort must be good and more recruit must apply . so an aggressive commercial campaign be launch and spearhead by a singing anoke and at the same time a dissident be execute a a statement to the public . on the frontlines where colonel john rico be command that doesn not matter much . the arachnid be still far more numerous than the human and and be ever test their defense . but when the sky marshal crash on a apparently desert planet in the middle of the arachnid zone matter look grim indeed . and they get bad when rico get try for insubordination and no one seem interested in rescue the sky marshal . rico friend must now first save rico and and then mount a covert rescue operation deep into enemy territory . comment represent this be definitely a sequel too far . haven not see the second installment in the series and but the first one and the original base on heinlein novel and be really good . even then i do not expect too much at all out of this . and i still manage to get disappointed . even if casper van dien ( how desperate must he have be . ) return from the original cast and and manages to bring about the same that he do in the original and his support be too weak . i think only jolene blalock and a veteran from a star trek series and manage to escape with her dignity . but it isn not by much and and certainly not thanks to her character or the story . suppose to contain a big twist it be predictable a rain and the character be mostly thin . the dialog be almost stupid and deliver in a completely unbelievable manner . sometimes the acting be disturbingly poor . what really kill a movie like this and if it hasn not get a strong story to lean on and be the bad effect . they do not come close to the effect in the original and and it far weaken the plot . when an entire platoon and arm with automatic rifle and grenade do not hit a even one of hundred of monster that charge at them and due to that the effect doesn not cut it and it be time to stop . it be time to pull the plug . why do a movie at all if you do not try to do it good . the sole chance it get be to be so bad it turn comic . it fail even at that and cause it actually try to pass a a serious movie . the only redeeming part be the somewhat funny news reel that intersect the story . even though i do like the genre and and do like the original and i really dislike this . can not recommend it at all . negative .
