I read the book long before I ever saw the film and for what it is worth the book is very good. Sadly with the film it is a case of the book it was based upon being far superior to what was produced. Although the main theme remains the same the acting lets it down badly, that and the special effects which had no hope of replicating the descriptions offered by the book. In short the film was too watered down and lacking in raport with the main characters who were portrayed as being far too two dimensional. Read the book for it is far better.
Rating: 2 / 5
A couple of Xen-style desert guides take on the evil city overlord and his death machines, in a post apocalypse world.
The heroic rangers fight(just hold actually) with swords of see through plastic against loads of incompetent men on the ultimate weapon – the “death machine”.
The death-machines are 25cc motorbikes with a top speed of 4mph mounted with twin pieces of drainpipe. The pipes occasional make a “wi” sound, someone develops a pink aura and vanishes.
The pipe weapon, is also available in a more practical hair-dryer form.
You’d be far better of watching Dr Who or Power Rangers or paint dry.
Definitely the least interesting film I’ve ever come across.
