I usually enjoy a good bit of bad sci-fi and this really is an epic turd but I'd need a re-watch before deciding if this is a great bad movie or just shithouse.
A bad sci-fi with some originality or at least a different angle on a common theme has some interest but this was just a minestrone soup of a film. I mean apart from the obvious T800 rip off I was constantly being reminded of very specific scenes and one-liners from movies like Robocop, Mad Max Thunderdome, Aliens, Star Wars, Blade Runner, Predator, 2001, Psycho, Risky Business, Misery, the list is almost endless.
To be fair the film does have some originality. Set in an apocalyptic future where the female lead is an artist trying to make money from selling her sculptures made from scrap metal collected in the desert waste lands by her boyfriend who is in the marine corp and for an extra twist, whilst battling the evil brother of Johnny-Five, the heroine also has to take care of the comic book guy sex offender neighbour who wants to rape her. Somehow this entire nightmarish killing spree manages to take place entirely in the women's own city apartment. And just like in War of the Worlds the solution to winning the day was so simple...
You do get a bit of a cameo from Lemmy and Iggy Pop for your money.
