Ratings and reviews

Possibly the worst film I have ever seen. With a great director and good actors this should have produced a very watchable film. This on the other hand is full of cheesy one liners, awful special effects and a lame story line. Do yourself a favour and wait for the £1 DVD in Sainsburys if you feel the need to subject yourself to the rubbish.

Forgive the terrible special effects on the completely unnecessary "bike" chase and instead revel in the far more impressive later effects on this old school action movie romp. It's meant to be fun and silly; not Shakespeare. So just enjoy the ride of this low budget sci-fi action comedy that still manages to pull out some fun surprises.

Decent film with good action. Action is not too cheesy either and overall has thrilling and exciting bits with good spec effects. Definitely worth the watch. Not amazing, but a very very good well produced film. 4 stars is the perfect score!
