Not so Bad as the Reviews Indicate
5 February 2023
Dr. Benjamin Trace (Patrick Bergin) loses the patent of his Chiron Chip and the wealthy Jonathan Walker (Kelvin Conway), who owns the Virtual Light Industries, helps Jobe (Matt Frewer), who was found with his face destructed and his legs amputated after the explosion of the VSI. A few years later, Jobe contacts the hacker Peter Parkette (Austin O'brien) in the virtual reality and asks him to find Benjamin Trace in the desert. He wants information about Trace's subroutine Egypt, but Trace does not provide the information. Soon Trace decides to retrieve his chip to avoid the insane Jobe's plan that intends to destroy the real world.

"Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace" is not an Oscar film to be nominated, but not so bad as the reviews indicate. If the viewer sees as an adventure, it is very reasonable. But as a sequel of "The Lawnmower Man", it is terrible. Dr. Benjamin Trace does not exist in the first film. Jobe had already reached all the network since telephones ringed in the most different continents. Peter is a homeless teenager, but in the first film it seems that his mother and Dr. Angelo were together. A few years later, Los Angeles recalls Blade Runner environment. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "O Passageiro do Futuro 2" ("The Passenger from the Future 2")
