I really don't know why this film was hyped so much. The film is a seemingly never-ending martial arts composition with the pretence of somehow being a science fiction film. Maybe numerous people like the craziness, which, of course, could also be seen as an artistic achievement, but all the film really has to offer is a trivial, cheesy story that culminates in some nonsense and absurdities and, as I said, brutal fighting, fighting and again fighting. I waited a long time while watching the film for something to come along that would somehow captivate me, but nothing.

I have rarely struggled through a film as much as I did through this one, and it is probably the first and only film where I am completely at a loss as to why this film doesn't inspire me, despite the good reviews of others. Maybe I should have smoked a bit pot or taken acid to get some entertainment out of this never-ending nonsense ...

I found this film to be 140 minutes of wasted life (plus 5 Euro rental fee).
