Very well executed

Admirable film.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Oh deal, just when we though Hollywood was recently going down the tube, this movie popped up in the Comcast on-demand option. Nothing beats watching movies free or for a fraction of buying the disc or renting it on netflick.This movie is basically followup to the first Lawn Mower movie. The kid that we see in the first movie is now grown up, a hacker, and a kid whose life went downhill. Where is Pierce Bronson's character? Well guess the first movie sucks, why bother being in it then.As for the Jobe guy, wasn't he all stretched out thin in the first one? Well, anyways, this movie is like the terrible Robocop 3 where our future is bleak, corporate has their own little military and its a dirty homeless city setting of a movie.Be warn, this movie is just a time filler if you're looking to waste time or as someone said earlier, a movie to scare your inlaws out the door. Its on comcast now if those who have an account can watch it.

I am rather amused at all the people here, who seem to hate on this movie just because its not exactly the same to Lawnmower man, or bash on it for the "Barely there plot". Well, growing up on horror flicks like I did, I can honestly say this HAS A plot, its just everyone's looking for some schlocky sci-fi plot and missing the real one.In a nutshell the plot is pretty simplistic, Jobe is a cripple, def and Dumb, who's brain has been hardwired to every computer in the world, after spending a life time crippled, and helpless he now has COMPLETE control, and absolute power, or near it. Jobe now wants to take over the world, and keep every single person in his cyber-world, and its up to the two Scientist doctors, and the male leads hacker minions, to try and stop them. Its a fairly schlocky, straight forward plot.A big turn on about this movie, is the Special Effects, a lot of people seem to be saying their "Bad" but considering the era this movie was made in, their decent. Tron it is not. But it's not on par with plan 9 from outer space either.The actors deliver a variable performance, nothing really stands out, or draws away. The actor playing Jobe is rather creepy, and genuinely gives off that "off his nut, power hungry" personification up until the end.All in all, this movie was a fairly straight forward run, more about the special effects then the plot, and simply didn't hold up well to the tests of time. The only bit that confused me in the least, was the "Pyramid" or "Egypt" analogy.

The LawnMower man was a great sci-fi movie, the effects may look dated now but at the time they were groundbreaking. The CG effects reminded me of a video game and I still find they kind of cool to watch. LawnMower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace (Renamed LawnMower Man 2: Jobe's War for the video release.) isn't too bad, it may not be has good as the first LawnMower Man but it is an entertaining sci-fi movie. The effects are good, the Virtual Reality effects are not has video game looking as the first LawnMower Man but still alight. Instead of using 3D most of the Virtual Reailty effects are just real locations. The acting in this film is so-so since some of the performances are okay and some are bad, LawnMower Man 2 does have a few plot holes that messes up the ending of the first film, one is that in the first film Jobe destroyed his psychical body to create a virtual body but in this film Jobe's body is still intact. Another thing is that the world has turned into a futuristic world in just a few years, how did the city become so high-tech that quickly? These plot holes made the film more entertaining since it's so bad it's good.The film sees the base being destroyed and a group of people searching the wreckage, they find Jobe and rescue him. After being revived Jobe is sent into cyberspace again to help create a new project called Virtual Light which is a huge virtual world. Some years later and the programme is slowly becoming more complete, Jobe's friend Peter is now a teenager and lives with his friends in the subway. After going into Virtual Reality Peter meets Jobe who asks him to find a man who helped start the Virtual Light programme since he needs to understand how to use the Computer Chip, the device that makes the Virtual Light work. Peter finds him and takes him to their hideout, there Peter discovers that Jobe has became more ruthless and different then when he first met him. Soon they learn that Jobe is planning on using the Virtual Light world to make a new society, he plans on making the real world chaotic so people will have no choice but to enter Virtual Light and Jobe will be the ruler of it all. They then try to stop Jobe before he completes Virtual Light and carries out his plan.LawnMower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace isn't too bad, it may not be for everyone's taste but if you're a fan of cheesy sci-fi movies then this film may be worth a look. Check this out. 10/10

Because i really loved the first movie, i bought the sequel on DVD. It was the biggest mistake i've ever made in my life.The sequel really does not have *ANYTHING* in common with the first movie. The entire plot is an accumulation of trash elements. The whole movie is ridiculous, it's a shame for the original first and it's more than predictable. Really, this is like the perfect example of how to ruin a movie. There are no words to describe the dumbness of this movie. Even the cast is not the same as in the prequel.If this movie could be described in one word, it would be "disgusting". Avoid this movie under any circumstances - except you want to hurt yourself.Disgusting.
