About
You might enjoy this if you like scrappy 80s sci-fi action with campy charm and chase-heavy fun in the vein of 2019: After the Fall of New York; Not for you if you want polished storytelling or serious drama.
Pros: goofy B-movie charm; lively action bursts; fun dystopian atmosphere | Cons: low-budget look; uneven acting; messy borrowed plot
