Negative Positive
Title: Predictable
Review: I remember that the original was a bunch of loosely connected stories. This one tells one tale, not too badly, but also too interested in including specific elements that had to be part of the movie's image more than letting the story flow. Of these "required" elements, it of course had to be science fiction, there had to be a lot of violence, plus completely gratuitous nudity featuring totally buff women with improbable breasts. I like that a lot of effort was made to tell a whole story, but it looks like a bunch of producers got together, figured out the lowest common denominator for their audience, and dished out standard movie fare for them, cafeteria-style. With the same resources, they could have taken the "Final Fantasy" route, at least plot-wise, but chose the easy road.
Is the review positive or negative?
