An under-rated old school adventure film.

This movie was very creative even though it borrowed a lot from other flicks. The opening scene was very good. It featured giant robots invading NYC. It really geeked me out! In fact, anytime the robots appeared on-screen, I was locked on. Overall, it was a fun watch but it was uneven and slow at times. The story was truly secondary to the look and special effects.

Pioneering digital backlot technique in service of diesel-punk nostalgia — the aesthetic is the concept and the concept is the film, with minimal characterisation beneath the sepia-toned surface. Historically significant, not particularly rewarding.

Criminaly underrated movie four five

I had never heard of this movie until last week, but I wish I had more nostalgia for it. In a way it reminds me of Spy Kids 3D, but for adults. It is a wacky concept with over the top visuals that did not hold up. The cast keeps this one watchable, but I simply wish I enjoyed it more than I did. Rating: 2/5 - 65% - Not Recommended to Everyone
