i saw this movie for the first time when i be a young teenager and and i actually like it . i honestly couldn not tell that the acting be bad and the suspense be absent and the plot be non existent . so and be it then safe to say that this movie probably be make by young teenager and unaware of the different aspect that make a good sci fi or horror movie work . i have the chance to re watch it last night and so i do . better have not do it and because it another childhood memory shatter . this movie indeed be a shameless alien rip off . there a chest burster scene and there a big gun attach to a soldier body like in alien and there be soldier crawl through air shaft with somebody look at a monitor tell them the creature closing in on them and . it a shame and really and because the other dimension concept have potential . the film maker should have show more of it . like the soldier scout the landscape or them enter the dome you see in the distance . actually and you do not see sh . t. just some fuzzy transmit image on a monitor . i guess they do not have the budget to write all that in the screenplay and since they clearly use only three set or so . i be still try to figure out why i like this movie back then . i think because there some mild gore in it ( chest and face bursting and an exploding dude at the end ) and but they cut away from it too quickly . so it must have be the creature and which look reasonable ( but still rubbery ) and fairly dangerous when it show it teeth and but it move way too slow . anyway and i be waisting too much word on this crappy movie . the important thing be represent xtro ii represent the second encounter be actually no sequel to xtro ( 1983 ) . the two movie have absolutely nothing in common . i even think the first xtro be worth track down and watch it and cause it a peculiar and unique little sci fi or horror gem . xtro ii be not . but if you want to see every possible alien rip off represent be my guest .
