i read somewhere ( in a fairly pan review ) that this be something of a live action mecha anime and and i think theyre on the right line . i first watch this movie when i be very young and i have be die to see it again and and when i finally do just recently all the memory come flood back . i do not think this be to be take too seriously it just a bit of good old 80 almost a tv movie fun ( it be set against the backdrop of a fairly dark future and although this point isn not stress too much ) . what i admire most about this movie be that the dialogue do not sound generic no clichés and no predictable line all in all just good fun . maybe time hasn not be kind to this little movie and but still i can find appreciation for it in me . it by no mean perfect and but it entertain and doesn not try to be anything other than that . let the nerd and comic store guy worry about technicality who care . see it for yourself and make your own decision . no one else opinion matter .
