If you can get past the lo-fi robots there is a very decent film here. I think it deserves favorable comparison to the ultra-expensive Blade Runner sequel, which I liked less than this film. Clever use of industrial wastelands on our planet comment on the eco-disasters of another world. The female lead is fine. Good effects and a story that might move a little too casually for the modern mind still deserve a much wider audience - I predict this will eventually become a cult classic. Here's hoping for a nice looking print on Blu-ray.
