TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Randy Coates This movie is so ridiculously bad it's unbelievable. There are plot holes you could drive a Pachyderm 2000 Space Truck through (yes the pun is intended), that pun is funnier than any of the jokes in the movie, the special effects look like they were done by monkeys with a light bright, the acting is some of the worst ever (seriously did Dennis Hopper really need the money THAT bad that he would willingly do this movie? Not that I like Dennis Hopper that much as an actor but for crying out loud he's pretty famous he must have had other offers than this!), and it's just plain bad. It's really unrealistic but not in the "so intentionally bad it's funny" kind of way, it's just bad. This movie is awful. Predictable and sad.
pig_71 Cool flick, nuff said. Check it out. Gordon does as excellent job and you can tell it had a bigger budget than many Gordon films. The design for everything is top-notch. **** out of *****
DeeWee2002k This movie was no Lawrence of Arabia,but I liked it.Being a huge fan of Dennis Hopper,it caught my eye.I will admit that the story was kind of weak,it still was a lot of fun if you take it for what it is.It seems to me that some people have no sense of humor.If you take this movie in a simplistic point of view,I think that is more accurate.Take it for what it is!
Sehnzeleid When I first heard of this film directed and partially written by Stuart Gordon. I thought the idea of Gordon creating a space adventure was very interesting. I thought, I know Gordon's films don't have $60 million budgets, so I figured most of people who disliked it probably aren't used to lower-calibered sci-fi. Which is extremely hard to do without looking foolish. I must give a lot of credit, Gordon did a very impressive job with the film overall.It takes the absurd nature of The Fi5th Element and the action of Judge Dredd into one, with a dash of Super Mario Brothers and Predator. The film is geared more towards a younger audience, with an apparent lighter tone. It has a PG-13 rating with little gore but I forgot about that. Several surprising great actors pop up in the film, Vernon Wells dressed in full Mad Max 2 outlaw mode. Charles Dance plays a (very) bio-mechanical trench-coated villian who looks as if he stepped out of the PC game Return To Wolfenstein. The main actors (Hopper, Dorff, and Mazar) do a convincing job in light of hammy material.The special effects that are present are done impressively with a keen-eye for detail. The production design is very extensive with a lot of little touches that push the film along. The direction of Gordon is truly dead-on, he offend used the film's full 2:35.1 scope to devastatingly creative effect. Some have bad mouthed the anti-gravity scenes as being horrid but no, this provided some of the most wild camera angles and it was interesting to think of how are did it without the crutch of CGI.They just didn't have $20,000 to burn on a interior spacecraft wall 20 feet behind the camera! They had to make with what they had and everything was used in a 'form follows function manner' The original musical score has a nice 'heavy handedness' to it. The action scenes are loud, tense and the Bio-Mechanical Warriors are the best fast moving 'person-in-suit' monsters in quite sometime. I recommend this film as the perfect time waster.
