                              As MST3K demonstrates, sci fi lends itself well to the bad movie catagory.  The combination of cheap costumes and melodramatic acting is the most frequent factor in securing it's place in this dubious pantheon.


                   this was not quite as good as Clonus, but of similar quality.  A very generic plot  featuring a human training camp of the future designed to turn people into controllable robot people.    the concept  is Brave new World meets "the most dangerous game".    one guy get s put in this thing that looks like a bed spring under the hot sun as weight is added to some thing he has to hold.  I guess science has regressed a little in the future, or peoples cleverness in torture.   It's not exactly james bond  villain material, this device.  

            There is a little nudity and some gore and some ...I don't know...bad words.  It's not outrageous or over the top, but it isn't made for TV either.    You got your  explosions, guns and people shooting exploding arrows and cool stuff like that.  As crackhead Bob used to say "dawesome!"
