Conner MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) returns in this, the third film in the Highlander series. MacLeod is an "Immortal," a 16th century Scottish soldier who has been both blessed and cursed with the gift of eternal life. After the death of his beloved wife (a common occurrence for him, but one he's never gotten used to), MacLeod travels to Japan during the feudal era where he encounters a fellow immortal, the wizard and swordsman Nakano (Mako). Nakano and MacLeod become friends, and the Scott learns many valuable lessons from the wise magician; however, when Nakamo's arch enemy Kane (Mario Van Peebles) -- an immortal who has pledged himself to evil -- finds the sorcerer's hideaway, he promptly chops off the magician's head. The attack causes Nakamo's cave to collapse with Kane trapped inside, and McLeod narrowly escapes. Moving into the 20th century, MacLeod is in New York City where he's become romantically involved with Alex Johnson (Deborah Unger), an archeologist who is planning a dig in Japan; however, the site she's excavating just so happens to be the cave where Kane remains trapped inside. Once the villain is freed, he sets out to find MacLeod and determine once and for all who is to be the final immortal. Highlander: The Final Dimension was trimmed of two sex scenes for its American theatrical release, though they were restored when the film was brought out on home video. Despite the suggestion of the title "The Final Dimension," a fourth Highlander film was released in 2000. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    I am a great fan of the Highlander TV series. I finally saw Highlander the Movie last year. I can see why it had so many fans. Christopher Lambert was dark and mysterious. The legend of the Highlander and Immortals was compelling. This is why the second movie, Highlander II the Quickening was such a disappointment. It was clearly the worst movie I have ever seen. After a wait of seven months, I was able to see Highlander the Final Dimension. It was better than the last film, but still not what I would describe as even a fair or OK movie. It is not something to watch on a rainy night nor to see on TV on a really slow day. I will give nothing away, but the idea was lame, the script was ordinary and the ending was predictable. In other words, it was very boring. I am glad I was able to fast forward through most of it. Yes, I will see the next Highlander movie, but I do not hold out much hope. The producers took a really great idea and have gone out of their way to ruin it.

    We downloaded the movie from VUDU. The best surprise about this movie was the great acting by the villain! He is sinister, potent, funny and believable. But Christopher Lambert gave yet another wooden, flat-line performance. A pity and a waste. A handsome face does not a warrior make.

    I wish I could write a review for this movie, but every time I add it to my queue, it says "Very Long Wait" under availability. It looks like a pretty cool movie and I heard it is better than Highlander II so that says something.
