This
review contains some spoilers.
To be honest, this wasn't what I was hoping for. What I was
expecting was a small change occuring somewhere in this movie
and for that to affect the consequences. I kind of got that, but
to be honest, the only real difference in this movie, apart from
when Dask leaves Brian there to sleep for a little bit longer,
is the ending. I did watch the whole movie and predictably I got
a bit bored seeing the same things again (but there are a couple
of tiny changes if you look closely enough). And that's about
it, apart from the odd scene, nearly everything is identical to
Vlarion 2.
The change in the ending battle was very interesting though, and
it treats you with a Vlarion battle. How the battle ends is very
intruiging and it kind of leaves Alternate Vlarion 2 on a kind
of cliffhanger. Think what happened in Vlarion 4 and put it
here. That's all I'm going to say. Alternate Vlarion 2 also
builds up loads of questions which leaves the viewers asking
stuff like "why did Dask change his decision" and all these will
hopefully be answered in the next two Alternate Vlarion movies.
Admittedly it is hard to find a lot of good things to say about
a movie which is effectively the same as Vlarion 2 for most of
the runtime. But despite the lack of changes though, and even
though it can get a bit dull at times, if you have been
following the Vlarion series, I still recommend you to watch
Alternate Vlarion 2, just for the story. The concept of
'changing time' is a rather new one that hasn't been seen much
here and it looks like, story-wise, Alternate Vlarion 3 will
deliver big time. With Brian out of the way for the ending,
unable to betray his fellow 'friends', surely you are curious of
how Alternate Vlarion 2 ends?
Score: 64/100
