Description:

With computer effects improving on a daily basis, a more visually dazzling Lawnmower Man sequel was inevitable. Ten minutes into Jobe's War (also known as Beyond Cyberspace) you know the CGI is vastly better, even if composite shots and model work aren't! The focus of the effects is still former simpleton Jobe, who's been rescued from the fireball explosions at the first film's end. In a Los Angeles of "the future," he's had both legs amputated, his head is shaved, and he's now played by Matt Frewer. The Virtual Light Institute has Jobe building a chip once designed by disgraced scientist Dr. Trace (Patrick Bergin). Like the original, this sequel is a great snapshot of the special-effects industry of its day. In 1996, the cyber city and bike ride (a homage to Tron) was as good as you got. --Paul Tonks
