apparently it take no less than four different people to script a piece of junk that look exactly like the alien and only a lot less claustrophobic and suspenseful . four people and a bunch of wash up actor to make a u sequel that have absolutely nothing in common with the british cult classic from 1983 and but presumably just want to cash in on the awesome title . the original xtro be a movie you either love or hate . i happen to love it and because it be totally unique sci fi fodder that blend surreal element with kitschy comedy and gratuitous nudity and gruesome make up effect . this sequel have nothing . even the additional title be bore . the second encounter . well duh and it the second movie after the first movie . xtro ii be basically just a re telling of ridley scott legendary alien and only set in an underground research facility instead of a spaceship . deep underneath u and unaware tax payer and doctor alex summerfield and julie casserly run a secret laboratory where they teleport three people to an alternate dimension . only one of them return and however and and she carry a hideous monster that explode through her chest alien style . the whole facility become hermetically seal off and inescapable and and it up to an ex scientist ( jan michael vincent ) and a team of macho soldier ( like in james cameron sequel alien ) to survive this ordeal . this film be completely unoriginal and derivative and uninspired and boring and forgettable . it literally everything you expect it to be and with exaggeratedly big gun and muscle imbecile climb up elevator shaft etc it seem a if jan michael vincent and paul koslo and both reasonably acclaim b movie veteran and be compete for who can deliver the most uninterested and cocky performance and whereas the rest of the cast try real hard to do good but do not have the talent . tara buckman and for example and must have watch and learn a lot from linda hamilton in the terminator . the special effect be weak and actually and even though this movie falsely raise the impression of be gory and trashy . the gory bit be always over in the blink of an eye and the lighting be poor and if you watch it in slow motion the make up look quite amateurish .
