Audience Member Bit of fun on a rainy weekend! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Has that made for DVD feel. Its a Canadian film so you can't bash it too hard, as the budget is pretty low. The actors try their best with what's there but the script wasn't strong enough. Has a couple laughs and moments of nostalgia from the mid 2000s but that's about it. The leads are lacking any chemistry and the first 15 min had me so confused I had to watch it twice. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member What was the director thinking? That a slow-moving foot pursuit through Toronto was exciting? I mean, the Bourne chase music was nice but there was nothing - NUH-THING interesting about the plot that couldn't have been clear-up in a few minutes of lazy dialog. What astonishes me most is that the idea of a computer like RIPLEY taking over the phony war on terror had some interesting possible lessons to be learned but the writers and director clearly gave up on including action, intrigue and mystery in the story. I'm not sure I can finish it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The only thing that surprised me about this movie was how much it badly ripped off from the original. The acting was really grating, fake emotions everywhere, the devices brought in from the first film were used inappropriately: I was charmed initially to see WOPR once more, but then failed to see I used well. The characters were formulaic, and the plot and flow was terribly confused and rushed. I wish it hadn't been made, as it was a disservice to the original film.

It looks like a movie made with all SciFi channel source material. They are plugging Stargate: Worlds pretty hard in it. That is a failed game that they were making and tried to sell pretty hard with Stargate: Universe and apparently this movie as well. Watch it if you are like me and can't turn away from a sequel from a fantastic movie, but be warned, this is not a good movie.
