Such a frustrating disappointment
Don't listen to the negative reviews
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
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!
The first Zenon movie was hilariously kitschy. This "zequel" however is not only unfunny, but unremarkable. Greg is written out of the whole movie by having him break up with Zenon at the beginning, mistake #1. Zenon's parents and Nebula are portrayed by different actors, mistake #2. The movie is almost saved when Margie (the hilarious anti-hero of the first film) arrives on the scene and makes Zenon's life a nightmare...unfortunately she becomes Zenon's friend, mistake #3. Then we have this horrible subplot with aliens (rainbow colored specks), mistake #4. And that's basically the movie. And oh yeah, they rip off the ending of the first movie, having Protozoa and his band Microbe play a new song, Galaxy is Ours which is alright but weak compared to Supernova Girl. This is painful major. The novelty has worn off. The first movie was creative and cheesy. Chelsea Clinton was president, everyone drove VW Bugs, people played games with spinning milk cartons, everyone liked to hack and kids had funny lines like "it was never you he liked it was the car!" Let me be the first to ask, why was this "zequel" ever made?
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.
This is a fun, family movie sure to be enjoyed by most. As with most Disney movies, there is a lesson to be learned about friendships. Teens will like the neat fashion designs and room decorations. I'm sure many will be able to stretch their imaginations and will copy on these fashions. The use of ultramodern adjectives will catch on and make for fun.
