Mankind has lost a 300-year war against a genetically enhanced race that man created, abused, and tortured. The descendants of that race, called the 'Ghen', control planet Earth. An entire new universe has risen inside the remnants of our world. Humans work the surface as factory slaves in the New World Order, with pockets of resistance carrying on the freedom fight. As rising Ghen politician Crecilius Pryme takes power he urges his people to annihilate the remaining human population unleashing a shocking secret that will change the world forever.

Wow. The only good thing I can say about this movie is that I didn't pay anything to watch it. Just...wow. one of the great tragedies of all time is that Roger Ebert apparently didn't review it before he died; he could supply redemption to truly loathsome films with his slicing wit.I wish I could come up with something devastatingly witty to say about this movie, but words nearly fail me. It must've had a strong sponsorship from some kohl manufacturer; the actors & actresses all look as if someone passed out pairs of binoculars with the eyepieces heavily slathered with black paint.The acting is beyond bad, hitting new depths of atrociousness; wooden & ludicrous. Of course, the script is abominable so it's not as if they had anything to work with. It makes no sense. It cuts randomly from scene to scene, with no rhyme or reason.This is one of those movies that's so bad that not even the geniuses at MST3K could've made watching it worthwhile, even at their very best.To paraphrase Monty Python, this is not a movie for watching: this is a movie for laying down & avoiding.

Me & my buddies love obscure, art- house, independent films & so we're always going out on a limb to find something good. I really wish there was some kind of warning like a scarlet letter for movies like this. This movie is painfully slow and so dull I couldn't follow what was happening. The acting is bad, the sets & costumes are low budget. The eyeliner on the bad-guys was so distracting I think I paid more attention to it than the dialogue. It seems they could only film in 5 locations, one of which was someone's apartment. There are no ups & downs in action- if the pacing of the film were on a graph it would flat-line.We kept hoping things would change but a half hour in we gave it the fast forward treatment.

What else would you expect from Stewart St. John, whose career was made writing and editing kids' fare like "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" and "V.R. Troopers??" This film is aimed directly at the newly-adult audience who grew up thinking those shows were cool. If you were one of those, you will think this movie is cool, you will be revelling in the wooden, eyeliner-plastered actors (villains suitable indicated by underlighting), and you will be eagerly awaiting the next installment in The Creations Wars Saga, or The Chronicles Of Hollow Earth, or whatever Mr St. John is calling it this year. If you can't wait for it, I recommend watching "Skyline," which you will also love.

it's such a shame to see so many wonderful talented directors and scripts, never seeing light because of budgeting reasons and then again, see such projects being made.This movie, is really bad... Too much dark scenes... Well, it's called dark metropolis... But boy this movie is dark we can barely see the actors... The first 5 minutes of the movie are promising... the concept is good although we seen much of it before. But the movie fails to impress... the directing is lame the characters are so shallow...the dialog is so unrealistic...obviously trying to make us understand what we cant through the movie. the fight scenes are so un-professionally made...Didn't they have a monitor while shooting?Am sorry for the makers of this film... if we can call it so!
