"Fortress 2" is the sequel of "Fortress" and it has to do again with the Fortress but in this movie we are seven years after and Brennick and his family are still on the run from the Men-tel corporation. A group of rebels attempt to gain his support but he refuses because he wants to focus on his family. In a raid Brennick with some rebels are captured and they sent to a new more sophisticated fortress prison in outer space. But Brennick will not give up because he wants to get back to Earth where his son is.I liked this movie but not as much as the first one. I also liked again the interpretation of Christopher Lambert but I think that it was not enough for this movie.

A sequel to cult director Stuart Gordan's fun and campy film from 1993. This time Brennick is once again caught by the super-evil Men-Tel corporation and locked in a facility orbiting the Earth. Naturally he soon begins planning an escape.Aside from the opening action scene which is OK the film starts to sink pretty fast. Relying too much on computer effects that are really sub-par - the first film cleverly used set design more than computer effects - and then there are some glaring plot devices that pretty much overshadow parts of the plot that are enjoyable. Cheesy computer effects are forgivable and can easily be looked on as a new-age camp, but the silliness of the plot of is poor script writing and that is almost impossible to forgive. You need a tight script for a good movie. Period.Also, if you thought the end to first film was cheesy then you'll like this film even less because the ending is even ridiculous by fairy tale standards. --- 4/10Rated R: violence and profanity

The scifi channel is having a field day with low budget scifi movies and Fortress 2 is one of them. Christopher could and can do better in movies. He was great in Highlander.I was bored somewhat with this movie. The plot was loose and stupid. The original movie (Fortress) was much, much better. But we all know that it is very rare that the sequels are any good or that they hold up to the originals. Some of the scenes were sooooooooo stupid and not realistic. And yet there were some scenes that were good and realistic. The saving part of this movie is the few good actors in it, Christopher Lambert, Beth Toussaint and Aiden Rea. If you are bored and need something to cheer you up or are into low budget scifi then by all means watch it.

I am a huge fan of Christopher Lambert. I've enjoyed some of his 'worst' films such as Mean Guns, Gunmen and The Sicilian. I loved Fortress to death and proudly have it in my DVD collection. As soon as I seen Fortress 2 in the Wal-Mart DVD bargain bin, I could not resist. I loved the original so much that I just HAD to have Fortress 2. Like most sequels, I was letdown. I loved Kurtwood Smith as the 'warden' in the original but the new guy...he just is no Kurtwood Smith. I just wish that Christopher Lambert would get better movie deals than this crap. This film was only $5...and it isn't worth much more. I now wish I would've rented it for 99 cents from the video store....2/10
