The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreThere is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
... View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
... View MoreVirtual Reality is a normal thing nowadays especially in the gaming industry. If you watch this flick it's funny to see how they thought back then what VR should be. So far so good but that's the only positive thing I can say.To be honest, it has nothing to do with the original Lawnmower Man (1992). We do have Jobe ( the VR) but this time al acting is done by other actors. Still, it doesn't make sense at all. But for me made in 1996 the effects are really laughable, so cheapie. It do has an atmosphere that reminded me of Blade Runner (1982) and The Terminator (1984) only those were better done effect wise and story wise. Completely outdated but only to watch if you want to see what they thought the future would look like with cell phones and VR.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
... View MoreFirst of all I think Matt Frewer is a good actor. His role in Star Trek Next Generation as a bogus time travelling scientist was excellent and reminded me of James "Jim" Carrey. In this he tries very hard but the script and directing is not there at all. This "sequel" seems to contradict the ending of the first film completely and so I ended up watching it for the hilarious clichéd moments. Here's a list:The tag line is laughable "God made him simple, science made him a god, now he wants revenge." What the hell is that about? He wants revenge? For what? On whom?"Accessing secret files" What computer would ever say that?"We have to make Jobe so angry he destroys himself". That part had me in hysterics. Trace's ludicrous explanation why that would work.The fact that Jobe is somehow alive despite in the previous film he was practically incinerated.That weird bit in the middle where they try to find out who wrote a computer program by looking at a 3D image of a word.The bit where Jobe start to use bad language was really unexpected and very unnecessary.The over the top and pointless sword fight at the end. I thought Jobe had to destroy himself? Why the sword fight?That scary looking blonde woman. What was her role in the film exactly?The cliché of Trace the old computer master is now living a "simple" life in the desert.Homeless kids somehow have ganged together, taught themselves computer science to the degree that they know more than the average adult and have expensive equipment that WORKS in an old train.The Chiron chip. That thing really confused me. What was it and what was that talk of Egypt? How can everyone live in cyberspace? Their bodies would die. The whole idea is ridiculous.Trace's weird and annoying shaped mouth.That fight where Trace picks up a TV and smashes it on someone's head. It was clearly fake it looked like it weighed as much as a cardboard box.The whole film made absolutely NO SENSE.Still it made me laugh.
... View MoreBecause i really loved the first movie, i bought the sequel on DVD. It was the biggest mistake i've ever made in my life.The sequel really does not have *ANYTHING* in common with the first movie. The entire plot is an accumulation of trash elements. The whole movie is ridiculous, it's a shame for the original first and it's more than predictable. Really, this is like the perfect example of how to ruin a movie. There are no words to describe the dumbness of this movie. Even the cast is not the same as in the prequel.If this movie could be described in one word, it would be "disgusting". Avoid this movie under any circumstances - except you want to hurt yourself.Disgusting.
... View MoreMan, does this film seem exciting or what? I've seen so many movies in my lifetime that, as I am writing this, I can't think of a sweet, not short (or long, duh!), very decent opinion for "Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace!" However, all I can say is that this sequel to "Lawnmower Man" has, as the title says: - Twice The Action! - Twice The Adventure! - Twice The Excitement! - And Twice The Horror! Plus, there's twice the fun, twice the spookiness, well, twice the everything! Now that I am just about done writing this review, what I can say about this movie is that if you haven't seen this already, then go to the video store now and rent it! It'll have you going "beyond cyberspace!"
