Query: It was never going to compare to the original I suppose ....

All the same,this sequel to one of the greatest Sci-Fi/Action hits of the '90's is a big let-down.It looks almost like in a cheap video film the way it is shot,the budget restraints more noticeable than originally anticipated.The whole thing is acted rather blankly by all those involved too,giving expressionless performances,with the exception perhaps of Lambert and Patrick Malahide,giving a gleefully sly,condescending performance as the evil prison warden.But perhaps the worst thing about it is the dialogue.Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery and all,but there was hardly a word spoken in this that wasn't borrowed from some other flick,like ''perhaps instead of working against each other,we should work with each other'' and ''I never wanted it to end like this''.This is best admired on the levels of a respectful interpretation of modern action films,rather than anything like or resembling the previous film.
