This is nowhere near one of the worst movies made, couldn't sit through it, etc.
It's been mentioned that the actress who plays the wife changed. Well yes, that can happen after 8 years. She had a major role in the original. She didn't here, and that fit the story. Now if Christopher Lambert wasn't the same, then that can be a problem.
It's still the same strong theme of the main guy would do anything for his family.
There's more nudity than the original. It made sense to the story.
There's less overt bloodshed. That made sense too. There's really nothing gratuitous with this film.
It's sold as this time the fortress is even more sophisticated. It's really not. Apart from being 26,000 thousand miles in space, it's actually easier ... but then it would be difficult to be harder than the first film.
There's a cool scene with him in an isolated greenhouse type environment in space. There's another where he's able to survive briefly out in space without a helmet as he zips by. Just let it go-it's not a documentary.
It's more campy, but you can still sit back and enjoy the escaping and how they make it happen.
Just like the first film, it had a definitive ending and it could have had a sequel. This time, after 24 years, I don't think there's going to be a 3rd.
