Wolff and Niki travel across various cyberpunk set masterpieces also linking up with an ex-colleague of Wolff, Washington (Ernie Hudson). Eventually they arrive at the forbidding HQ of Overdog (Michael Ironside) who drains essence from young woman and also hurls slaves into the Maze, a kind of deadly Total Wipeout with lots of sharp edges...
The film does genuinely look amazing though often unoriginal, at times it looks like a big budget remake of a low-budget Italian remake of Mad Max. Or maybe an overlong early 1980s pop video. The action is lacking at times though promises so much. It was released as a 3-D film so that explains a lot of the action involves things falling towards the camera, they maybe got a little carried away with that. The plot is basically one set piece of mild peril followed by another but amusing enough and there are some good lines especially from Overdog. The film is worth it alone though for the technology of the forbidden world especially the sail powered train!
