Verdict on Highlander 3: The Final Dimension
Highlander 3: The Final Dimension is the third adventure in the Highlander stories. It continues to build on the legacy of the character and his battle between his past and present. He comes up against the deadliest enemy yet an enemy he defeated before who is out for vengeance.
In what is a strange sequel, it dives nicely into the back story of Connor’s adventures. However, there are some completely bonkers sequences with Kane, including a chase which feels completely out of context for the film.
This is one you would sit back and wonder what the hell you just saw. and in a mixed way, because you kind of wants to see the crazy side again, but other sides are not as interesting.
Final Thoughts – Highlander 3: The Final Dimension is a bonkers sequel.
