This movie is decent. There are a couple really brutal sequences, the 3D is okay.
Dolph has a great entrance, JCVD looks creepy in the final battle.
Definitely skews more sci-fi/horror this time.

Dolph's death is AWESOME.

Van Damme looks like hell.
As long they keep the "execution by head fist smashing" I'm still with this.
I found it funny that people disliked the background music because it was made with synths and whatnot, I liked it a lot.
BTW, I read that Regeneration is a reboot, not a sequel of the first one or a spinoff, this one follows up Regen?

The scene that they flash in the beginning of the trailer with all those masked dudes in a white room... it's pretty effed up. Definitely sets a sombre tone.
Yes. Same director.
He really looks like hell in the final battle.

So I watched this film and uh...WTF is all I can say. It's weird as fuck. I don't get Van Damme's character -
I feel like it completely ignores and separates itself from the 'canon', in order to establish itself as something new and completely different/weird. It succeeds but I'm not sure if I'd class this as an enjoyable film, though some of the scenes were awesome (such as the previously mentioned sports store fight scene). Brutal.
Then again, I loved the first and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Regeneration is class as well.
why he's a good guy/hero in the previous films and is now some crazed cult leader looking to usurp the government? And how does Lundgren's character fit in all this?

I plan on watching the original for the first time during the holidays, then skipping most of the sequels and watch DoR.
My question is, should I watch Regeneration as well? I just read a pretty interesting Grantland article about the franchise and it claimed that the new movie disregards Regeneration despite being made my the same guy.

WTF when did universal soldier series become so freaky and awesome. The fight scenes and atmosphere was awesome.
