When John climbs down the shaft in the woods, the back of his shirt changes from just bloody down the middle, to an almost completely blood soaked back. See more »
Well, I really enjoyed the original, and massively enjoyed Universal Soldier Regeneration which was like watching a real life version of the Call of duty Modern Warfare level called 'Bloc'.
I had had high hopes for this sequel, but I have to say, I spent most of the film shaking my head in disbelief. I thought I must have missed another film since 'Regeneration' as this just seemed to make no sense whatsoever as to what was going on, who was doing what, and why. They sort of explained this later in the film which is apparently they way they wrote a few twists into the storyline, but it still left so many gaping holes in my understanding of why things were the way they were.
There is a very adult theme to the film. Nudity, sex and of course lots of violence. But it all goes to the extreme for no apparent reason. I hate the way modern films these days are dumbed down for a wider audience, but here it looks like they've added extra gore just for the sake of it.
All in all, an inconsistent and strange story line without enough explanation as to why it is.
The fight scenes are OK, which is why I'm giving it 3 out of 10. But the vague storyline just doesn't work for me. I think Van-Damme and Lundgren should have steered clear of this. It won't have done them any favours. A total B movie.
