Bad sci-fi martial arts/action movie that was intended to sell only to the most ardent Sci-fi/martail arts-action fanatics who will most likely delight in the many good fight choreography scenes showcased here.The production quality was bad although there are worst.The flow of the movie was to the point and at least did not pretend to be something it is not.For an audience who like energetic cyber/action Sci-fi feel injectd with loud cyber rock type jams,this movie will hook you up.There are not too many movies that feature this type of unique artistic combo (ala Japanese action sci-fi Anime or the Warner Bros. BATMAN BEYOND TV series),so this one will be appreciated by it's followers.I for one go for this type of combo and hope more like these are released.But if one is like most people out there who do not like precition and to the point Testosterone Hong Kong/Tokyo style martial-art choreography mixed in with loud/fast energetic cyber rock or cyber rock type background music blasting away while all mixed into the weird sci-fi story flow (and a dash of comic humor here and there too),do not,I repeat,do not expect to like this one as it is only for a TARGET AUDIENCE.I am surprised this movie made it thru the big screen circuit.This type formula movies are usually only for straight to video and cable TV markets where they rake in a lot of profits later on.May be Van Damme's second best movie (after Universal Soldier) as of this writing.I hope he makes more movies of better quality.I like his new mature/hardened look in this movie......
score 9/10
