a movie that really could have be a lot well . not all that bad and but far from good . some of the cast have act ability and but not all of them be go at full power . part of the decor be convince and but quite a lot of it look like plasterboard paint flat gray with some extra symbol throw on to make the whole look futuristic . some effect be very nice ( the holographic display for instance ) but some be obviously make on a too tight budget ( the striklones ) and a lot of them be not at all necessary . the story could stand on it own without most of the explosion . the overall feeling be that if the maker have opt for an exist location instead of construct one and some more money could have go toward retake and actor coaching . a lot of the techno junk at the end could have be replace with a straightforward ( fire ) fight with today weaponry without sacrifice any of the tension and with much good end result . sf generally work just fine without death ray . all in all and this film be ok if you be trap in bed ( the flu and hangover and terminal boredom ) and need some entertainment that would not strain the brain too much . it never achieve suspension of disbelief which be crucial in a movie and so it mostly fall on it face when it come to really grab you and and that a shame since it easily could have be so much good . there be nothing really wrong with the script idea and most of the crew be capable of much more than this and wise spending would have result in a good film . i realize the backer want to see the money end up on the screen and but they should have focus on the act instead of the future angle which really be incidental anyway . hollywood be always recycle stuff . let hope this movie get remake some day and with different priority .
