Despite the limited involvement of creator Kenneth Johnson, I found this to be an entertaining sequel to the original. Marc Singer, Faye Grant, and Jane Badler all return, along with Michael Ironside as ruthless mercenary Ham Tyler, who helps the resistance group continue its fight against the aliens.
The stakes are higher here, since Diana is now facing challenges among her own ranks, as well as her superiors, but she will stop at nothing to achieve her ambitions of power. The Earth is still threatened by the 50 spaceships hovering above, but now the resistance has developed a biological weapon to use against the invaders, and decide to infiltrate the mother ship hovering over California.
This has even more action than before, and is less cerebral than its predecessor, with an ending involving the "star child" that may leave you shaking your head in disbelief! Still, this is well-done otherwise.
