Lo strato di ozono che ricopriva una volta la Terra non esiste più, e le vittime delle radiazioni solari si contano a milioni. Dopo aver conseguito la Ricompensa (cioè vivere una vita mortale, invecchiare e morire) Connor McLeod è diventato uno scienziato, e insieme al collega Alan Neyman ha costruito lo Scudo Spaziale, che proteggerà il pianeta dai raggi ultravioletti, ma lo condannerà anche ad un'esistenza senza sole e cielo blu. Nel 2024, ormai vecchio e malandato, egli ricorda il suo antico passato: ricorderà che le sue origini non sono terrestri, bensì hanno avuto luogo nel lontano pianeta Zeist, dove col fido maestro Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez ha guidato la rivolta popolare contro il perfido dittatore del luogo, il generale Katana.

    And unlike some movies from that era, the original Highlander actually deserved a sequel… which makes it even funnier that the sequel we got was Highlander II: The Quickening, a cinematic crime against humanity. This movie doesn’t just miss the mark, it sprints past the mark, jumps a fence, gets lost in the woods and never finds its way back. It’s the kind of sequel that feels like everyone involved forgot what the first film was about, then confidently wrote something completely different while hoping nobody would notice. The biggest insult is the lore. The original gave us immortals, ancient battles, centuries‑spanning drama. The sequel gives us… aliens. From another planet. Because apparently someone thought, “What if we take everything people liked and replace it with nonsense?” It’s a bold choice, bold in the same way jumping off a roof with a bedsheet is bold. Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery do their best, but you can see the pain in their eyes. Connery especially looks like he’s wondering why he agreed to come back and the answer is probably “money.” Lambert tries to hold the movie together, but even an immortal can’t survive this script. The tone is a mess. The action is loud but pointless. The world‑building contradicts itself every ten minutes. The villains feel like they wandered in from a completely different movie and the whole thing is drenched in that early 90s “we spent money on sets, so we’re going to show them for as long as possible” energy. It’s not just a bad sequel, it’s a sequel that actively attacks the original. You can’t even pretend it’s canon unless you enjoy emotional damage. There’s a reason fans pretend this movie doesn’t exist. There’s a reason the franchise had to quietly reboot itself with Highlander III and there’s a reason The Quickening is still used as a punchline whenever people talk about disastrous sequels. A sequel was deserved. This… was not it.

    It’s OK it’s a good movie for the 80s. It was well done for that time. The script was a little weak. I did expect better from the first one but a good movie overall.
