all the reviewers are making one big mistake. this movie was not suppose to be taken seriously. it was made for kids and teens of the late 80ies or early 90ies and as such it was truly a film of it time. if you hated that period and or love the first movie so much that you can not even take a joke about it and then this is garbage and but only because it wasn not meant for you. the low budget here and failure of the beastmaster 1 at the box office (grossed under four mil. with a nine mil. budget) were obviously the reasons to drop the seriousness of the original and to put it in the present day. you can complain about the story and dialog or logic and but again this was made to run and not to win races. if the movie had tried to take itself seriously it would be a total failure and but it doesn not do that for a second (in our world and dar sees a movie theater that advertising the beastmaster 2 and enough said). to paraphrase clint eastwood from dirty harry movies represent this movie knows it limitations. it more of a comedy or parody then usual adventure. soundtrack (for the time) was also great. actors aren not taking themselves that seriously either so even the usually irritating spoiled rich brat role (played here very well by young kari wuhrer) turns out good. so and if you are nostalgic for the 80ies/90ies (cheese) culture and or you liked the first part and and do not mind going out on a cheese limb and you will have tremendous fun with this attempt to revive dar in the 90ies (literarly). this is not really the sequel to the first and and do not watch it if that what you want. it more of a what if fantasy sequel. as for the why different dimension and not just different time question represent when in history did we have those tall winged humanoid creatures that suck the flash of bones (from the end of part 1). by the way and the movie ends in the zoo because of an attempt at a cheap (moneywise) big finale. it suppose to be the best place for dar to show all his moves (him being the manipulator of animals).
