When did the future become so bleak? I seem to remember growing up in the late fifties and early sixties, that the future was going to be a great place. Robots and other machines doing all the work, the future was going to be paradise for the human race! Then it suddenly went dark, grim and gritty. Can't place the exact time or film when it happened, although, Bladerunner comes to mind. And this film is in a similar vein, all slightly out of focus shots and raining a lot.Unlike the aforementioned, Bladerunner, this doesn't have a coherent plot or story and just meanders along till the conclusion. One of those films that seem to go on far longer than the actual running time. After a while, your mind just switches off trying to follow the story and you're just waiting for it to end.There were a lot of low-budget SF films made around this period and all I assume went straight to video and then straight to the bargain bins. Low grade cash-ins to better movies. Watch Bladerunner or the Terminator films instead.

The plot is a little confusing at times, but the mood and look of the film will hold you. I thought it was stylish and watchable. (Make sure to fast forward the scenes with Italian tacky queen, Cicalina. YUK)
... View MoreOne 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.
