Watch out for Hari and the Mule, at a cinema near you...

It would be nice to light up a few more areas, perhaps they should try a few of the good SF authors and actually keep the story rather than pick out the action, Foundation by Asimov being a good one.

(Or if it's an action movie like UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS, bite 'em up.)

When are they going to bring out a good thinking film that includes some good action, sigh. it,s a pity this film has no thinking potential and as your review says just some good action (which isn,t all that bad I suppose ).
