User Reviews
My
quick rating - 6,6/10. A futuristic (1997 is the future in this movie)
look at the planet running out of water ala Mad Max. The movie itself is
such a tribute to the 80s flicks including the midi music, the time
frame, clothing, etc. that it then makes sense that the future is 1997.
Same basic idea but cross that with Kick Ass and an extreme amount of
blood and guts. This was a fairly solid movie that held its own on all
accounts. It even sprinkled a little love twist between our star and a
quirky robot girl. The action is edited nicely to keep a solid look to
it. The actors play their parts just fine (not like Michael Ironside
EVER has a problem playing a bad guy.) Apple (Laurence Leboeuf) The
female robots facial expressions throughout the movie almost seemed
painful to pull off. CGI maybe? lol. Anyway, a very well made and
violent flick that will surely garner a slight cult following just as
Kick Ass did. I can see sequel potential out of this one and look
forward to it. Definitely check it out if you get the chance and have
fun with it. I can assure you the film makers did just that.
