The year is 2024… And this movie is still delightfully horrible. Apparently created just so Christopher Lambert could work with Sean Connery again.

The premise is ridiculous on the face of it, stands in direct contrast to the simple premise of the original. The real question is why do I love it?

Get it in before the calendar rolls over. Free in prime for me in the states l.

    I saw all 5 Highlander movies for the first time this year and this one was my favorite by far.

    The aliens send people into the future as a punishment? Then when the punishment isn’t punishment-y enough, they send goons into the further future to kill the guy?? And then when the goons point out ‘why bother? Why not just wait and he’ll die anyway?’ Also why even wait because time is apparently a pointlessly easily accessible plaything but NO QUESTIONS go to future kill old man???

    Incomprehensible, hilarious

      You need to understand their mastery of time and space is linear. They can only monitor the future in real time from the past.
