Skip this one. Universal Soldier: The Return is a catastrophically bad sequel that even die-hard action fans should avoid—with a 5% on Rotten Tomatoes and 4.2 on IMDb, it's not even 'so bad it's fun' territory, just plain painful. Unless you're specifically hunting for cult failures, there are infinitely better ways to spend your evening.

Plot

Luc Deveraux, the heroic former Universal Soldier, is about to be thrown into action once again. When SETH, the supercomputer-controlled ultra-warrior, decides to take revenge and destroy its creators, only Luc can stop it. All hell breaks loose as Luc battles SETH and a deadly team of perfect soldiers in a struggle that pits man against machine and good against evil.
