The 3D version gets a weak review :/

Ultimately then Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning succeeds in being a violent action film with a unique structure for the genre. In truth, this film only really deserves 3/5 purely on its own merits. It is slow paced to start and a dull lead does not help one iota. Yet the fact that John Hyams has pulled a straight-to-DVD franchise in a new direction – whilst maintaining a continuity with the original film – for the second time deserves some wider acknowledgement.
All of the filmmakers concerned are putting in far more effort than was required for this series. Even if this singular entry is weaker than the last one and nowhere near as much fun as the first film, for its sheer effort Day Of Reckoning deserves to be respected.
