After the destruction of Virtual Space Industries at the end of the first film, Jobe is discovered in the rubble and is brought to the facilities of Jonathan Walker (Kevin Conway), a powerful corporate tycoon, where his face is reconstructed and he is hooked back online through virtual reality to work for Walker. Several years later, in a dystopian Los Angeles, Peter Parkette (Austin O'Brien), is now a teenager and a computer hacker living in the subways with a group of runaway teenagers after the events of the first film. Jobe finds Peter online and asks him to find Benjamin Trace (Patrick Bergin), the founder of virtual reality. After finding Trace and bringing him to his hideout, Peter discovers Jobe is looking to start a new world order, using Walker's technology. Now, Trace, Peter, Trace's former lover Cori (Ely Pouget), and Peter's friends, are on a race against time to stop Jobe and Walker from enslaving humanity through virtual reality.
Leave your thoughts about Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace.
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenDarting around a futuristic Los Angeles on motor scooters that can fly, these plucky whiz kids are so indomitably cheery that they seem more mechanical than the demented cyber-messiah who tries to destroy them. At least he has a temper. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackTwo points save "Lousy 2" from the absolute abyss. One is a couple of imaginative touches in the art design: Cori drives an old Citroen, and a couple of Vespa-like motor scooters are briefly glanced. The other is the performance of Frewer, who played the lead in TV's "Max Headroom." He endows the character with more sardonic humor than we have a right to expect from the junky script by TV-oriented director Farhad Mann. |
| USA TodayAndy SeilerAll in all, this is not a Jobe well done. |
| New York Daily NewsRobert DominguezThis time around, expect more of the same -- a tedious, muddleheaded tale about a malevolent spirit haunting cyberspace -- with somewhat tastier special effects. |
| Austin ChronicleJoey O'BryanLawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace is a bad movie, wrongheaded in its concept and empty in its execution. |
| User ReviewKlebartIf I could score this movie a minus one I would. When we saw this movie, we had the entire theater to ourselves. I now know why. To this day, I'm still not allowed to pick a movie to see. |
