This movie tries to be an edgy Cyber-punk movie about the dangers of technology. It has too much stuff going on, where you just can't follow the plot. So you have a situation where they've developed Star Trek style Replicators and someone wants to make organic material out of it. Two companies race to the goal, and during the course of some sabotage, one of the designers is copied, but his copy is evil. Because copies are always evil in movies like this. The dialog is clunky, and there's an outsized role for Ned Beatty, probably because he was the only actor involved anyone has heard of in mainstream movies. That and the girl playing the mannish VR stripper. Not sure why her character was even in there, other than when she was younger, she was big in blue films. I think another two or three rewrites by people who knew what they were doing could have made this a better movie. And it did have some interesting concepts of what a horrible time 2014 is going to be.

Zepo 2's film was "out of focus" and grainy... My copy isn't - perhaps you were sold a counterfeited copy accounting for the poor visuals. BTW,I saw it first in theater (local Cineplex, 1993 I think). I can't say this little film had a long run, but wasn't ever direct to video. I agree with Zepo 2 it's not "Blade Runner", but for a 1 million dollar budget it's not bad, seen many a B flick with more money do way way worse so I say give it a break. I mean the look is cool, -can't say it isn't original that way.OK, it's not perfect but, but it is quirky and funny in a good B sci-fi way.

On the video cover it says "Entertains and fascinates... futuristic FX...terrific cast!" DON'T BELIEVE THIS ! This is a BAD movie - don't waste your time. I could only stomach the first 30 minutes (with a heavy finger on the fast forward button) and did not see any special effects. And the Italian porn star? Yeeesh - give us a break - a few floppies here and there - yuk.

One of the better things of this movie, which unfortunately repeats itself a bit too much, is the `justice channel' which allows any viewer to vote for the guilt and innocence of people. The movie itself seems partly based on `The Fly' but with less psychology, and therefore much less atmosphere. The fights in the movie frequently look rather unrealistic: the script is better than the execution.
