“The people who are stating that this movie is the worst sequel theyu0026#39;ve ever seen obviously never saw u0026quot;Hercules IIu0026quot; or u0026quot;Jaws 3-Du0026quot; or u0026quot;Hellraiser IIu0026quot;. Now, I am not about to tell you that this is a great film, but if you set your expectations low, you are likely to have fun. Despite the icky (and variable in quality, though impressive in the last 10 minutes) special effects and the large amounts of blood and tu0026amp;a, the film never becomes truly disturbing, because youu0026#39;re never meant to take it 100% seriously. Michael Madsen understood that, to be sure, and thanks to his trademarked coolness, he walks away with the picture. As for Natasha Henstridge, she has more or less a supporting part, but one that is rather imaginatively linked to the central story line. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, a movie with no artistic pretensions and, undoubtedly, many flaws (someone else already mentioned this; why didnu0026#39;t her head explode when she escaped from the lab?), but watch it in the right frame of mind and itu0026#39;s quite enjoyable. Do you know any other movie that features sex between slimy aliens?!? (**1/2)”
