For the first half hour or so it seemed like they were interested in making something plausible, then they tossed all credibility to the winds (heh) so they could have a series of K-rad FX scenes. Once you give up on hoping that this will be a real sf film, it passes the time well enough on the strength of its cast Striker Utter disappointment
