Replikator

One of the better things of this movie, which unfortunately repeats itself a bit too much, is the `justice channel' which allows any viewer to vote for the guilt and innocence of people. The movie itself seems partly based on `The Fly' but with less psychology, and therefore much less atmosphere. The fights in the movie frequently look rather unrealistic: the script is better than the execution.

This film takes place in a futuristic environment with a brilliant computer scientist named "Ludo Ludovic" (Michael St. Gerard) having recently been paroled from prison for counterfeiting and remanded to a firm named Biodesign Technologies who hope to use his genius to develop a device which can replicate other objects. As it so happens, another nearby firm named Zyklor Future Technologies is also working on this project and they have Ludovic's former girlfriend "Kathy Moskow" (Brigitte Bako) working on it. Needless to say, both firms want to be the first to complete their projects but the problem is that the man in charge of Zyklor Future Technologies named "Byron Scott" (Ron Lea) has absolutely no scruples in the process-and he has high-powered friends who are equally sinister. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, although it had a modest budget, this cyberpunk science-fiction film wasn't too bad, all things considered. Admittedly, the graphics weren't exactly state-of-the-art and it could have used a bit more suspense here and there, but even so I thought this movie was good enough for the time spent and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

This movie is a real piece of cybertrash, being so badly put together it is more like a comedy. Its also filled with some bizarre props and settings... there is one bit in a futuristic video game arcade which advertises the latest reality game titled "Tank Commander in Tienanmen Square..." !!!

1/10

Zepo 2's film was "out of focus" and grainy... My copy isn't - perhaps you were sold a counterfeited copy accounting for the poor visuals.

BTW,I saw it first in theater (local Cineplex, 1993 I think). I can't say this little film had a long run, but wasn't ever direct to video.

I agree with Zepo 2 it's not "Blade Runner", but for a 1 million dollar budget it's not bad, seen many a B flick with more money do way way worse so I say give it a break. I mean the look is cool, -can't say it isn't original that way.

OK, it's not perfect but, but it is quirky and funny in a good B sci-fi way.

On the video cover it says "Entertains and fascinates... futuristic FX...terrific cast!" DON'T BELIEVE THIS ! This is a BAD movie - don't waste your time. I could only stomach the first 30 minutes (with a heavy finger on the fast forward button) and did not see any special effects. And the Italian porn star? Yeeesh - give us a break - a few floppies here and there - yuk.
