Part adventure, part sci-fi, and mostly incomprehensible, this amazingly idiotic take on artifical intelligence makes barely any sense at all. Though beginning as an exotic post-apocalyptic tale, each scene becomes more separated from reality, meandering vaguely between wilderness and the urban world without really explaining itself.
The acting is dogshit. Not a particle of talent exists. Despite parading in a technologically advanced world, the film routinely collapses into realms of early American noir, crime, even cowboy themes, without any sufficient reason to do so. While encouraging itself with gunfights, it soon becomes exhausting and dull to tolerate the inane lack of structure or story.
With the themes of virtual and alternate reality, there’s some room for maneoveur; especially the main antagonist, which appears to be based on some kind of futuristic Pinhead. With a little luck and work it could have been close to a classic villain. Sadly, his character is barely used, built, or taken advantage of let alone explored.
This is some bad shit. It’s really bad and needs avoiding like pulsating red lava or green-glowing radioactive waste. One thing that has to be said though. When Deborah Shelton unloads that supreme rack. Oh my god! You can guess what this score is based on.
