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.

Tiny 13 must be thinking of another title in his review. He says the film he finds so so bad stars Michael Pare, who is not to be seen in this picture. I'd say Replikator has a pretty decent cast, Ned Beatty, Bridget Bako, Lisa Howard, La Cicciolina (!)in a 'tong in cheek' bit, -it's pretty cool babe-wise, and a funky tech-noir look that was more than a bit ahead of ahead of it's time in 1993. (The Justice channel bit is a cool concept and is still funny now. Compare this film shot for about a million bucks to Jonhny Neumonic for 30 million bucks at the same time and I'd say you see why this little picture stays cult in many countries while the other, we'll, n'uff said.For a cool look and good edge on a low budget before everyone else beat the look to death I give this an 8 or a 9. Hope they come out with a wide screen re-mastered on DVD. (An interview with La Cicco wouldn't hurt

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.

This is the good side of B movies. Someone didn't think the audience is total dumb. Some neat ideas, and although the special FX are not expensive looking some have a lot of humor (See the Justice Channel bit)and neat graphic looks. Dialogue runs with the confidence that we humble viewers might get more than the B movie plot, (film it and they will see!) and the film is layered and feels like a different, interesting world.I like Ned Beaty here. Brigit Bako is cool too. I want to see more with her.
