Attack of the German male models, or Jean Claude Van Damme Vs the pirates of the 21st century, 11 May 2008
5/10
Author: Grann-Bach (Grann-Bach@jubii.dk) from Denmark

This movie is basically a typical, campy, B-grade action flick, from start to finish. Most of the "pirates" not only look as I describe in the summary, but sadly possess the same acting abilities as such. The action(which does perhaps have its moments, and there certainly is plenty of it) is relatively violent, but apart from that, nothing above the usual for 80's movies of this kind. It would undeniably pose something of a daunting task to locate a mere second(!) in this that isn't infinitely and instantly(not to mention incredibly) MST3K-worthy, and that tends to be the greatest source of entertainment when I watch it. What gives this what merit it does have(which really isn't an overwhelming amount) is that it actually features some pretty decent atmosphere, as others have said, partially due to the stretches that do not have any dialog. The story isn't terribly told, and it isn't the *worst* piece of cyberpunk out there. This goes somewhat fast, but it could also be attributed to it not even being 90 minutes long(seemed closer to 75 without credits), though there are some films of similar running time which are considerably more difficult to sit through. I guess this is sort of a cult feature(and it did somehow beget two sequels), and as such, some people will love it, but most people probably won't. I recommend this to big fans of gloomy, dystopian future works... if you're not one, you may find this rather uninteresting. 5/10
