looks the business

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 1999)

i approached this film with a degree of caution,not being particularly overwhelmed by it's predecessor.i was in for a surprise.a story that skipped along at a cracking pace, hardware that looked the part. true there are some questionable plot features,ie would they really go into a potential hostile environment without backup on the troopship in orbit.and would not the colonist's personnel data transmitters give health status,as well as location. however the film provides the goods in sheer entertainment value,and that's what really matters.
