Query: Inferior to the first "Scanners", but an overall solid sci-fi sequel.

A scanner is hired to use his psychic powers to influance the government officials of a city on order for unscrupulous authorities to take control, and hopefully to assist in the creation of a new order of scanners."Scanners II" has a solid, simple plot, though a few elements are recycled from the first (namely the good scanner vs bad scanner sub-plot), but it's main problem is the pacing. Several scenes are slow and a few even screech to a halt. But overall there's a fair amount of entertaining action set pieces to go along with the plot, not to mention a pleasing amount of graphic violence for gorehounds.Despite some slow spots and a slightly muddled plot, this is otherwise worth every minute for a look, for fans of the first "Scanners" and sci-fi fans in general.
