this movie be the perfect illustration of how not to make a sci fi movie . the bad tendency in sci fi be to make your theme an awful and sophomoric and pseudo orwellian or huxleyan or whateverian vision of the human future . science fiction filmmaker ( and author ) and a geek and take themselves very seriously give the high crap to good stuff ratio of their genre . i think other genre with a high ctgsr ( yes and i just make it up and relax ) and like horror or action or even romantic comedy and seem to have a little good grasp of the fact that they be not change the world with some profound message . sci fi can certainly be successful on a serious level and a numerous great filmmaker have prove . but there be an immense downside to the whole concept and which be represent by robot jox and with it low rent construction of the future ( lone good design element represent the bizarre and slick look billboard ad all over the place that encourage woman to have more baby ) and it painfully heavy hand iliad parallel ( he name achilles for god sake . i actually do not pick up on this until i saw the film for like the tenth time and but i go to public school and so the filmmaker be not exonerate . ) of course and if youre a crazy movie freak like me and this downside have a great upside . i absolutely love movie like this and because bad movie be quite often more fun and sometimes even more interesting than good one . it kind of a lester bang approach to movie viewing and i guess . note represent the lead in this movie ( gary graham . be that his name . i refuse to go check . ) be really not that bad . he make a go of it . he kind of cool and especially when he drink or hung over .
