  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
  • Why?  Might be fun.
  • Seen:  28 October 2024 

A nuclear blast in Texas, terrorism panic in the US, oppressive laws restricting everything, neo-Marxist freedom fighters, a porn star and a hunk with amnesia. For example.

‘Scientists say the future is going to be far more futuristic than predicted.’ Said earnestly by porn star Krysta (Gellar).

The end of the world is nigh.

It makes no sense to me. Either it’s a brilliant avant-garde political masterpiece but I have no idea what’s going on so I can’t give it 5*. Or it’s utter rubbish but it’s kind of funny with odd skewered parallels to our own skewered world and it’s a visual delight so I can’t give it 0*.

I’ll just have to give it 

 

3* of 5. Or maybe 4. Or maybe 2. Or maybe 5. Or maybe 0. But probably 3. Or something like that.
