Xtro 2: The Second Encounter

A very differetn movie than the original. Tis one is more of an sci-fi acventure, as the original was more of a suspence. This flick is about a team of scientists who develope a transporter that sends people to an alien planet. They send a team and only one member returns and an alien hatches out of her chest and begins to kill all the scientists and soilders. The whole thing reaked of an Aliens rip-off, and that hurt it a lot, because other than that, it wasn't terrible. Just cheesy. 2 out of 5.

Characters:

• Dr. Julie: Scientist that helps run the project.
• Dr. Shepherd: An ex-scientist who has past experience with the project.
• Dr. Alex: Asshole scientist who is in charge of the project. An alien hatch out of him.
• Zunoski: Hippie soilder type who actually lives. It must have been all the tofu.
• Baines: Poor son of a bitch who shares an elevator ride with the alien. Blows himself up in an attempt to kill the alien.
• Mancini: Soilder that is afraid of heights. Sliced by alien and explodes... in another attempt to blow up the alien.
• Jedburg: Wimpy scientist type who decides it's better to fall to his death rather than be alien fodder.
• McShane: The leader of the team of soilders. He chews the manditory cigar that all military leaders have to chew on. Head riped apart.
• Secretary Kenmore: Politicaina type who disappears from the film when shit starts going down.
• Marshall: Explorer who returns from the alien planet and hatches an alien out of her chest.
