Negative Positive
Title: This one was fumbled
Review: Fun, overblown production design and Toho's usual level of 'special' effects should be a lot more entertaining than this.The story is simple and goofy. Some future pirates that you have to see to believe want to steal salvage (and the newly discovered element... Texmexium!) from a forbidden island with an evil computer mastermind. Lots of running, shooting, broken steam pipes and a robot brawl. Sounds like fun to me!Unfortunately it's all poorly directed and confusingly edited. It was bad enough for the director to have his name removed (from the US version at least) and substitute that old standby: Alan Smithee. Give this one a pass.
