Just
before bounty hunter Charlie (Don Keith
Opper) triggers his gun to destroy the
last two Critter-eggs, he gets a message
from Ug (Terrence Mann) that it would be
illegal to extinguish the race from the
galaxy.
He is sent in space with a transporter
with the eggs in a deep sleep and awakens
53 deep-frozen years later in a ship with
a half dozen of people in a private
wreckage heading to Earth as they never
have discovered their own home planet.
Unfortuantely the eggs have hatched and
the Krites are on the loose laying more
eggs and planning to take over the ship
as well as feasting on anyone there.
At first the crew of the ship thinks that
Charlie is a suspect after their crazed
captain named Rick (Anders Hove) was
killed but then they experience these
creatures killing another one of their
crew member as well so they plan to snuff
them out before they are next.

A nice beginning where the last
sequel left off with Charlie McFadden looking around the suite for Krites and
was nicely touched with a computer effect
showing Ug's image
appearing talking to him about his next
mission.
He is taken in a pod to outerspace as the scene looked well done for it's low budget but he goes into the far future while the opening credits opccur which seemed necessary to have.
Then a ship discovers the pod with a group of people residing having argumentive discussions. Especially an asshole of a captain named Rick as this really makes things rolling wondering as to what will become of him.
While they capture the pod they try to pry it open with their lasers in which looked entertaining to watch in a half decent sci fi type of fashion.
Then Charlie comes out and it looked quite cheesy as to how he presents himself and wondering how long he's been in space as well as discussing the Krites eggs he has with him.
A nice shot on Fran showering while Rick shows pleasant expressions making out for
him to join her but while we watch the outcome of this we get a feeling that she will attack him while we watch carefully as to what we spot here. Was well done.
There's a good discussion scene between Ethan and Rick alone
together with Rick acting crazy
with his actions along with getting a chilling feeling that he will be violent in which I had a feeling he will get what's coming to him very soon. This situation was carefully drawn in.
Funny but gruesome looking shot of a
baby Krite charging into Rick's mouth. For anyone who has a bit of a strong stomach or doesn't like painful results this scene isn't for you.
Then Charlie and Ethan are stuck in a trash compartment trying
to get out. It was supposed to make you watch carefully by wondering if they will get out before this stuff gets dumped into space but lacked inspiration. Their panicked actions seemed fairly solid though.
It's interesting when two Krites hatch and then hours later they're full grown and manage to use a computer on the ship for their next plan which shows how smart they are by not having an older Krite teaching them. This is a case of bad writing folks.
One of the people in the ship Bernie is in an area trying to dig up some pills and Al Bert tries to warn him that two Krites are heading his way and to get out quick. Sound familiar to another outerspace horror flick that we all remember??? This scene I must tell you isn't as dark or horrifying.
Nice shot on two Krites leaping on Bernie with him spinning around crying
in pain.
When everyone thinks they're safe when Ug's ship arrives it certain offers an evil twist as we all remember him as the hero in the first two movies and boy does this moment ever tease you as to why he is behaving like this. The moments here looks very dark and powerful.
Bottom line is that this back to back
sequel was an improvement yet it takes
almost forever for the Krites to come and
wreck terror and havoc. This flick can easily be considered an Alien clone as it had similar elements to it as
the people in the future are aboard a
ship with some alien creatures stalking
around and they plan to blow it up.
However, they do add some different
elements too like an avil bounty hunter
climbing on board and other stuff like
that. Let's hope this film will be the last one
though as the story became terribly trite
and bland.

The acting is
powerfully good with a great experiences
cast involved. Don Keith Opper (Charlie McFadden) made up for his
performance and knew how to act energetic
and nutty as ever. Seems to show some great energetic action using a gun or getting violent when the terror starts.
Teenage actor Paul Whitthorne (Ethan) is
dynamic with his energy as well as the
youngest crew member on the ship and
could have had a promising acting career. Does well with his
nervous frustrations trying to control an
elevator in the ship. He also does well by screeching
towards someone telling him that
he is not his father when he tries to
hunt a Krite down.
Angela Bassett (Fran) pulled her weight
perfectly and portrayed her role well by
being tough when she needed to be. She was very sharp in her performance and getting to the lowdown. She especially was great with her powerful speaking especially quarter way through the story in which she shows off a believeable tough and courageous attitude.
Brad Dourif (Al Bert) Shows a nice stiff attitude as well as showing off a hyped out energy in which he does well in a certain scene when he tries
to call for someone and warns
him that some Krites are coming towards
his way. Shows off a believeable patient and intelligent attitude as well.
Anders Hove (Rick) was perfect playing an
arrogant and crazy captain of the ship. He looked great by trying to blast
open a stowaway crater with a laser gun
expressing some anger there. Was terrific with his violent and sleazy attitude too. Plus had the right rough looks and appeal to portray a perfect asshole.
Terrence Mann (Counsellor Tetra / Ug) was different with his
character this time turning evil and
seems to portray that part alot better. He appeared very well after
aboarding the ship and acting evil
towards everyone with his screaming and
being demanding to find the eggs of the
Crites. He did well by striking someone as well.

There's a butt
shot on Angela Bassett while
taking a shower.

A Crite bounces into someone's mouth eating him away as well as another one chewing apart his neck with bloody results.

The music
is alot better and fits with the story by Peter Manning Robinson and I can
tell you that he doesn't sound at all
cheap with his composing. Alot of nice outerspace type of music which blends in nicely. Plus some guitar twanging music too especially during the very beginning of the film. Nice effective low sounding synthesizer music for the creepy moments. Not only that, some great vocal smooth harmonising which breezes in perfectly.

Ethan: I guess
Rick's had a little too much coffee
again?
Al Bert: Rick has got a bug up his
butt. See. He's gone and discovered
himself a magnetic space anomaly. And
he's gotten stiff in the jock.
Fran: Asshole!
Al Bert: Eh, Captain asshole.
Al Bert:
Congratulations, Charlie, you have just
murdered the ship.
Charlie: You an
alien?
Ethan: No, do I look like one?
Al Bert: Rick and
Bernie are dead. For all I know we may
have been infected by some alien germ. So
unless anyone else has another
suggestion, I propose that we just hole
up here and wait for them to come rescue
us. They will be here any minute.
Ethan: Yeah. If we don't blow up
first.
