Blu B I could give this a 1 honestly but I feel like it's slightly better than that. That's the ebst comment this is going to get. Now on to the list of everything wrong. The acting is terrible....Vin Diesel is just terrible....like making J Law. in Dark Phoenix look like Christian Bale level bad. And I swear he brings down everyone else around him. Yeoh and the girl have no chemistry at all in this with him. There boring, lifeless at times, and the girl especially has such a crazy, stupid, ridiculous character. Believing Diesel and the girl would be lovers which is creepy to begin with makes Anikan & Padme in Attack of the Clones look like Casablanca. There also is a weird lack of consistnet villians in this too. I know theres the doctors at the end but they barely are in this. It's so weird. The cinematography is really bad. It feels like the different locales throughout this have no sense of style to them. The opening area doesn't even feel like it belongs in a dystopian Sci-Fi flick but like a modern war movie. NYC looks like Blade Runner. The snow areas and clu look like they belong in a generic action movie. And this makes it feel like there isn't even any direction in this. It literally feels directionless at times. Than add all the truly just bizarre scenes which get more and more stacked towards the end. The pregnancy, him being brought back days later, the weird creepy romance, her being the savior, the over the top stupid fights in this, and more. Music isn't good either. This starts with weird modern rap tracks and generic scores for a Sci-Fi flick that doesn't fit and than it just gets really boring and forgettable. Everything else is horrifcally bad. The opening scene I swear is just makes no sense and is stupid. Every action scene just comes out of nowhere with no build up at all. This jumps around like crazy at the end with crazy ideas that we had no idea or were let on about. The majority of the runtime is about them escaping pursuing forces and him delivering her to the destination and were never given any inkling of any of the crazy revelations at the end. (Or if we are I can't tell because of how poorly done this is) So it just comes across as beyond bizarre at the end and out of nowhere. Than it just feels like it ends too anticlimatically after all the nonsense. Skip this. Absolutely terrible Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Evan S I thought it was great, very entertaining. It’s very easy to follow, and there’s some satisfying action packed moments. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Van N Vinny D with another stellar performance, this guy does NOT miss!!! Wish I could watch this movie everyday but I got responsibilities and stuff. Love you Vinny Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/24 Full Review Michael S For its first hour, this is your average post-apocalyptic sci-fi film. Loner escorting a young girl with a secret. Things go waaaaaaaaay off the rails in the last 30 minutes. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Test T I watched this on DVD recently. The artwork on the cover was appealing, and works well to get the DVD into your living room. However, Vin's Toorop character is a man of few words, and he occupies a world which looks artificial, dull, dark and cold. To make matters worse, the soundtrack had an abrasive style which annoyed me. It takes it's self very seriously but the story lacks narrative and is difficult to follow. I figured out that Toorop was taking a girl and her chaperone to New York and some kind of new religion is involved, but beyond that I was very unclear. Once the plot reaches the US the visuals and soundtrack improve immensely and you begin to wish you understood the story properly. There are some very exciting action scenes, involving portable surface to surface head seeking missiles which I had not seen before, and some of the scenes reminded me of the action in Tron. As a standalone technical exercise these scenes are excellent. I'm going to watch it again soon to see if I can get to grips with the story. For now though, it's a dogs breakfast of a movie which is difficult to understand or recommend. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Gaming U I wouldn't watch this ever again Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
