honestly if you took orwell's 1984 and the tv series V (right down to the main bad girl who is a dead ringer for diana) and a dose of wwf wrestling thanks to rodey piper and a dose of john carpenter horror and what you end up with is....well this. a bit sci-fi horror thats not scary nor very serious. it could have been either or even both and it probably would remain interesting today. unfortunately it reeks of the tail end of 80's horror slop.
its not aweful and its still watchable. its a saturday-i've-got-nothin'-better-to-do sort've movie. it probably won't appeal to most modern viewers.
its bold graphics while looking through the sunglasses is its finest moment. while owing a ton to earlier versions of 1984, it remains well done and stunning enough to survive.
much of the film is long dialog-less takes with rodey piper. this is his finer moments because he's not a good actor and when he tries it shows. theres also a lot of fighting and shooting....ditto.
