      Jelisije J This movie only redeeming qualities are the actors that are in this film. Without the star power you got a script that had potential, but the execution is an absolute failure. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review Audience Member Interestingly, this is the exact plot for the Timberlake movie "In Time" except it was made about ten years prior ... and, well, it's garbage. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member In the future a virus has taken out most of earths human population and the survivors are slaves under a serum known as 'Absolon'. However a burned out cop (Christopher Lambert) finds out about a permanent cure for the virus and becomes the target for the creator of 'Absolon' (Ron Perlman). This is a low budget b-movie sci-fi action that you just can't take to seriously. Christopher Lambert's acting is stiff as hell, Ron Perlman is not in it enough to make a real impact and we get teased with some nude shots of Kelly Brook that never happens. Far from a good film, but entertaining enough not to be a total waste of time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Science fiction cannot survive under modest, unpretentious and lazy premises; this is simply something that I do not stand in this genre. Even when put aside all the budget limitations, the mediocre cast, the poorly staged set and scenarios destroying a possible atmospheric satisfaction, what really upsets is the fact that [i]Absolon[/i] was not produced, written, directed or acted with any kind of interest or a minimum enthusiasm. Other miserable cyberpunks such as [i]Hardware[/i] and [i]Tank Girl[/i] presented a lot more worth of praise with an even minor cost. So it is sort of inexcusable that this particular attempt was such a disaster, even among tolerant sci-fi aficionados such as me. The plot could not be more formulaic and simple to follow; all that David Barto and Christopher Lambert should have done is abstain from being dull, and the movie would fall into the fair oblivion of average low-budget sci-fi (which was probably the main objective of the enterprise). However, the short supply of involvement transpired by the crew was so painfully lucid that even the lowest standards shattered. Partial nudity of Kelly Brook and the brief but entertaining participation of Ron Perlman score some pitiable positive points, though not enough to indulge even the most malleable crowd. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Pravo da vam kazem, ne sjecam se bas najbolje ovog filma. Sve mi je to nekako izvjetrilo, medjutim ono cega se definitivno sjecam jeste da je neko (i to ne bilo ko vec Lu Dajmond Filips u jednoj od svojih boljih uloga!) proganjao Kristofera Lambera i Keli Bruk. Tu je i Ron Perlman koji igra glavnog negativca i nosi, ako se dobro sjecam, neke blesave narandzaste naocale. Uglavnom, ako je vjerovati mojoj varljivoj memoriji, ovaj film nije nesto spektakularan, ali bar nije dosadan, te se stoga moze pogledati u trenucima dokolice. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Cool storyline but BAD acting. And over acting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
