Why watch this?
It's over-the-top, visually-stunning Sci-Fi creativity on full
display.
Plot Summary: In the
23rd century, a washed-up cab driver finds himself plunged into
a mission to save the world when a mysterious woman, who is the
universe's ultimate weapon, crashes into his cab. The two must
race against time to collect four elemental stones and assemble
the ancient weapon to defeat a cosmic evil that appears every
five thousand years. Their quest forces them to contend with
mercenaries and a scheming industrialist who want the stones for
their own nefarious purposes.
Dad's Preview:
This futuristic action flick is loaded with talented actors,
mechanical and creature effects, as well as digital effects.
However, upon release, this film divided its audiences. Some
folks loved its lavish visuals and the strong performances by
its top stars. Others felt the film's plot was confusing and
over-stuffed with too many flamboyant performances, singling out
comedian Chris Tucker as Ruby Rhod. As a Sci-fi lover, I have
softened somewhat on this film. It is a spectacle to
behold and there are some ground-breaking, really cool special
effects. Today's critics agree and it's considered a cult
classic. It soundly can be labeled "so bad, it's good."
