True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

but not far from it either. Can rise some mild interest, but every now and than it also blow it by some stupid, not needed scene ( one where two main characters fight with swarm of flying bots is really beyond comprehension, both technically and logic wise), copycat cliché usage and , as someone already mentioned, worst "should be post-apoc" sets I have ever seen in any movie. Nevertheless, I watched it to the end. Main actor did rather solid job, despite some criticism here. It looks refreshingly underplayed as opposed to regular overplay standard for this type and level of movies. Some of effects are decent (???), and story itself is not that horrible. All in all, not the worst movie(just in last few weeks I saw at least two much worse, one of them being Living hell), but not too far either.

I didn't have high expectations going into this one: Rubbish B-movie title, the poor man's Bruce Willis style lead actor, the dodgy effects but that could have been part of the charm of it. I love B-movies. I really do. Sometimes the story (and particularly with sci-fi) is good enough to redeem matters. But not here.Some of the acting is truly dreadful - the lead male is painfully average but with the notable exception of Alexis Thorpe, still manages to turn in the best performance...Mr Valentine's demise is, as others have already said, unintentionally hilarious and is the only reason I can muster up to watch any of this dross ever again.The plot is a lame Matrix rip-off with nothing even remotely original about it. A particular highlight is the scene where Kyla is put in a prison cell and promptly escapes within 20 seconds making the whole sequence completely redundant.And that's pretty much it really... avoid.

This movie sucks but Alexis Thorpe is gorgeous! Why the world turned to be that way is not clearly explained and I don't understand how mass mind control could be achieved (they have to catch every citizens and implant chips in their brain?) The sci-fi basis is weak. Imagine in medieval times, a group of rebels led by a woman tried to rise up against tyrannical rule and somehow a brave knight (our hero is an employed cop now) joined them. It makes no difference except laser guns are used in this movie. Not every successful sci-fi movie relies on cheap visual effects but most importantly, the plot must make sense and illuminate our vision of future. Some hollow and meaningless conversions are particularly turn-off in this one. However, it's a pleasure to see Alexis Thorpe controls machines with her pretty eyes.

This has got to be one of the most disappointing films of recent memory. And I just got finished watching License to Wed. The basic notion is intriguing enough: people live in a dystopic future but the "Man" keeps it hidden from them using computer chips implanted in their brains. Our hero is a stand-up, police-officer kind of guy who, for fairly unclear reasons, decides to join a rag-tag group of rebels (by group I mean one or two) dedicated to showing the world the truth. But this didn't even rise to the level of a Sci-Fi channel original movie, but was slightly better than that one zombie movie made by those kids in their trailer park one weekend... and Transmorphers. The acting was as good as could be expected, given the wooden dialogue, bad direction and snails-pace editing. No, that's not true. The acting was also pretty bad. The music sounded like something out of a mid-80's video game. This was more like someone's proof of concept of a movie than the actual movie itself. If I had a chip implanted in my brain I'd program it to make myself remember doing something slightly enjoyable for the last hour and a half of my life. Avoid at all costs.
