Zenon: The Zequel

Kirsten Storms is back as our futuristic teen Zenon in Zenon: The Zequel and she's done nothing less than make first contact with an alien species. Her problem is that she can't convince anyone she has.

It all starts when while playing some futuristic video games Zenon and her friend Nebula now played by Shadia Simmons flip the wrong switch and suck out Commander Stuart Pankin's furniture out the airlock. They'll make for some mighty interesting meteors the minute they hit a planet with gravity. So Storms is exiled to a remote part of the station where she is to listen for noises like aliens wanting to make contact. This is a place to get rid of people who don't quite fit in.

In addition the military is taking over the station and Jane Maltby who was Zenon's nemesis from the first film is now on the station and she's the daughter of the general in charge. There are some days even in outer space when it doesn't just rain it pours.

Of all things the aliens want to contact futuristic rock star Proto Zoa once again played by Phillip Rhys. Seems as though they heard his space station concert from the previous film and dig his sound. They also are looking for a navigational bearing.

Of course Zenon is vindicated again. The Zequel is in the good tradition of the previous film and good family entertainment from The Magic Kingdom.

Kirsten Storms yet again succeeds. She was the perfect Zenon. The plot in this movie was about a 9.8 out of 10. The sets where great and the costumes were lets say "FABULO!" And to top it off great characters and script. This for sure was not one of those career ending sequel's. I just hope that they will keep this show going. Zenon: The Zequel will be in my list of favorite movies for sure!

Armed with a restricted-zone roaming pass granted to her for heroism, 15-year-old Zenon Kar (Kirsten Storms) and her best friend, Nebula (Shadia Simmons), cause trouble throughout Space-Stay. When your antics catch the Commander's attention. Plank (Stuart Pankin), he orders Zenon to work in the alien patrol lab, where she will spend hours waiting for signs of alien life. After Zenon receives what she believes is a radio signal from an alien, she tries to convince the skeptical crew.

This one manages to be just as regular and simple as the first one, however, as it was less dispersed, it managed to get a little attention and even enjoy it at times, still regular... Very regular and simple...

My only interest in the Zenon series has only been for Kirsten Storms. Who of course for Days Of Our Lives fans plays Belle Black on the show.

This is a silly movie. But indeed fun to watch. There's alot of silly shows for children and young adults. This one though is rather fun. Sure some spots might be a tad unbearable. But that's what they made the remote for. My only disappointment is that it isn't on dvd. :(

6/10

Quality: 5/10 (love the set designer) Entertainment: 4/10 Replayable: 9/10

The only things that I found remotely entertaining about Zenon the Zequel were her new wardrobe, the alien's spaceship and Protozoa's new song. This movie was terrible with an overall boring, stupid plot. The fact that Zenon, Marjie, Commander Plank and Protozoa were the only returning characters was extremely disappointing and took away from the fun cast dynamic that was present in Zenon Girl of the 21st Century. It bothered me that they couldn't even give the new actress who played Nebula a different name (and make her Zenon's new best friend) instead of pretending to be someone with the fame of Raven-Symone. I hope that Kirsten Storms is prudent enough to keep with her role on Days of Our Lives and look back on this film as her career flop, vowing never to let something like this happen again.

Zenon Girl of the 21st Century was the first disney movie I ever saw and I went on to love others such as Alley Cats Strike, The Other Me and Brink!, but I hope to never incur the unfortunate circumstance of having to view Zenon the Zequel again.
