Critic Reviews

Douglas Pratt, DVDLaser
the narrative is more complex than the usual mindless science-fiction action concoction.
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Shockingly, ridiculously, almost stupidly entertaining.

This live-action adaptation of the postapocalyptic Japanese animated series is dull with terrible martial arts sequences what actor Gary Daniels made in his title role.

The cartoon is better.
