I read all the reviews, and, sure, the acting is amateurish, but fine. The beautiful scenery could have been better exploited. And to take a theme like the breakdown of the US with potential to dig into the potential libertarian ideology of a future Jefferson state and exploit it so casually in an attempt at a noir thriller was a disappointment. And I did get the feeling like they were almost making up the story as they went along. But there was some genuine creativity and originality poured into the film. It captured a mood. Left just enough to the imagination - not laying everything out for you. Nice self-deprecating digs at the rural Ecotopean counter-culture. Clever dialogue, particularly between the protagonist and his computer companion. Credit for what it is - just a mellow piece of art with some nice ideas.

Gotta give these people credit for creating the idea of a future world. Not only with cyborg and AI tech. But the idea of magic. What with the magic black eyes and black zombie chewing tobacco. But the execution of it is severely lacking. Too many things all thrown together that don't really ad anything to the story. And so many things left unexplained and an overall weak story. The story could have just as easily taken place present day. The whole deal with the state of Jefferson wasn't needed. It could be any small back water town. The cyborg and AI tech could be done away with easily. The main character could've just called his hacker friend a couple of times during the movie. I mean, so much. I really really wanted to like it. But just couldn't so much so it actually prompt me to not only rated my first movie on here - but write my first review on like a 10 year old account. I would enjoy watching a movie set in the writers future setting some day.

If you like the dark side of SciFi, this film is for you! Set in 4029, replicant cyborg, Lloyd "Teriyaki" Pondue, is on the trial of a gang of intergalactic drug runners that are selling wasbah to the aliens and terrestrials of the Milky Way. One of the actors, in real life, is a close friend of Katherine Zeta Johnson. When Teriyaki finds Laudner, the gang leader, he will go to any lengths to bring them to justice. The special effects were spendacular and the sex scenes were hot and smelly! When the first spaceship lands, the fight for the planet is one of the best space stories that I have ever seen in 3D or 4D. It was virtual rality on steroids!Amid the laser blasts and nuclear explosions lies a movie of warm feeling and emotion superdity. Just strap yourself in and "Let the Force Be with YOU"!

I'm the kind of guy who will just throw a movie on while I'm playing a video game or whatnot so I can live with a lot of bad things in a movie, but this one is so bad it hurt. I barely made it 15 minutes in before I had to stop it. The CG looks like terrible, flat and terrible renders. The acting is... well also flat and and inexpressive. The cinematography is perfect, as long as the scene is boring and there is nothing better to look at than an actor walking across the shot. Sound fx, sounds like it was grabbed off the internet - they somehow managed to fit 200 wildly applauding people into a shabby nightclub for example. Unless you're really bored and don't mind a very sub-par movie just don't bother with this one.
