The film is set about 700 years from now in a dark world in constant conflict, until war uncovers a secret hidden underground... MUTANTS that is! Ok this film wasn't going to win any awards, i don't think it tries to, but it does make for fun and entertaining watching! Its kind of a cross between X-Men, 300 and Sin City mainly due to the atmosphere and lighting portrayed throughout the movie, highlighted red splattered blood in front of a bleak grey back drop is rather eye-catching! The action and gore are fairly good, plenty of blood for those who love it and enough of a story to make sitting through the whole thing bearable. Definitely a movie worth watching for fun, gore and action value, perfect watching for a Friday night with friends, although don't expect too much thought provoking material, its mostly eye-candy throughout. Blood, gore and zombie mutants!
Pros - Cool action and fight scenes with plenty of blood and gore, not too over the top though. One thing in particular that i liked about this film was the lighting and atmosphere which was very similar to that of 300 and Sin City, and although below par compared to these two films, it was refreshing to see, as many films don't employ this type of lighting and effect.
Cons - A lot of the acting was rather stunted from the lesser known actors and actresses some lines were rather cheesy and predictable, but this can only be expected for a film such as this. Good plot and acting would get in the way of all the blood and gore which to be honest would be the only reason go to see this flick! Don't expect an award winner, just fun entertainment and you wont be disappointed!
3.5/5 Jandals = cool if you don't expect too much.
