"Do you ever contemplate the complexities of life?"
19 April 2010
So finally it happens, the original Universal Soldiers JCVD and Dolph Lundgren return to reprise their roles as Luc Devrau and Andrew Scott in what can only be described as an explosive action-packed extravaganza! Despite being a lower-budget non-theatrical release, this film is far superior to the 1999 sequel "Universal Soldier: the Return" (yep the one with Goldberg) which is a good thing. The overall look and feel of the film is very realistic and it is superbly shot both non-action and action scenes look great and the fight sequences are top-notch and reminded me of the "Bourne" films in a way. Van Damme is in good form in this film and for a man who is pushing 50...he's still lightning quick and his kicks are just as impressive now as they were back in his Hay-day! It's really good to see the quality of Van Damme films improving of late as his previous film entitled "JCVD" was excellent and truly raised the bar for his films to follow. "Universal Soldier: Regeneration" is a great action movie and is in many ways just as good if not better than the original 1992 "Universal Soldier" film. A must see for action fans : )
