Christopher Lambert returns in this one, and in the far away distant year of 2026 the earth has a solar radiation shield and eternal storms, and Christopher Lambert has some weird croaky thin voice, and ninjas with eyepieces are after him, and... What the fuck happened to this series?
The plot is murky at best, but basically its the idea of the Highlander, which is that immortals are fighting on Earth, and they all have to compete until only one of them is left. Lambert as Connor MacLeod is up against Michael Ironside, a long hair having, scene stealing villain, Katana. MacLeod summons his OG Sean Connery as Ramirez, and the rest of the movie is, well, actually quite a lot.
Cause FUCK is this thing long. 2 hours feels like 10 as we get a lot of dialogue, a lot of pointless scenes, and we wait forever to get information as to what happened, where we are, and what will happen next. I mean what was their idea here? To expand the world I guess, but there is a lot of scenes here where the information is both unnecessary AND uninteresting.
When we come down to the last confrontation, MacLeod and Katana face off in their immortal duel, and the fight is over pretty quick. Virginia Madsen is also there as a love interest, and she's good in this, but the movie is way too cluttered. Probably a 1-er.
