Review Time: this film is one of those films that I would say you need to see it at least once, not so much for the storyline [this element is okay, I have always been under the impression that they could have done a better rounded ending.] But let's put that to one side for a minute, the idea of this film and how it has been shown to its audiences needs and deserves respect from within the science-fiction or action genres, because within most sequences there is always something different to see and let's be honest when this film gets going it just knows how to rotate different pieces in and out when it is time to do so.

Comedy level: now I was thinking I would begin with something tiny, this element shows up now and again in this film title, for an example I have always found one of the characters in this project to be just really strange [you cannot miss him,] because in a nutshell he is dressed in armour and what I can only describe as Christmas tree lights [seriously he is dressed up in Christmas tree lights or at least something to that effect,] the rest of the comedy level is in the dialogue exchanges [either in the actual dialogue exchanges or one-liners, but be warned they are quick so you may miss them.]

Action/Landscapes: the action sequences are hard-hitting with plenty of weapons being used, now the varieties of the landscapes that have been designed to bring carnage or chaos have an element of individualism to them, every action-packed sequence or landscape feels different which keeps its audiences interested, it makes the most basic of the action sequences or chasing sequences have purpose to them.

This film receives: 90% approval, it is an excellent project generally speaking, the ending could have been better, as I have already said, but this film definitely deserves to be seen once in your lifetime.
