On the surface, it might appear to be any run of the mill sci-fi fan-service boob-fest, but underneath that tasteless veneer, there is actually a really really bad film going on.

 

Features a peculiar time travel mechanic...that the film itself can't keep straight...and never manages to utilize. Questionable morality of a story played so earnestly it's clear the writer was entirely unaware of the disturbing creep factor. Not that he doesn't attempt to make it creepy, it's just the underlying creepy bit at it's center seems to fly over the writer's own head.

 

Unapologetic racism and misogyny are always best when the one presenting is unaware they are on display. "But you said boobs and fan-service in your first sentence. Of course it's aware." No...no it isn't.

 

Most of the WTF moments are derived from character motivations, how straight and natural these motivations are played, and how exactly it reflects on the writer and exactly what the point of this story is.

 

A character witnesses the encroaching 'loop' in which he observes himself observing a nude body sushi woman perform a flying Lui Kang kick across a room sending a kid crashing into a chinet cabinet. You must understand, he had to see this event from not 10 minutes earlier happen a second time before he recalled it. THAT'S what the off screen commotion was earlier in the film?! Why isn't the movie about this body sushi performer?!

 

It's streaming on Netflix at the moment.

Is it wrong that i added this film to netflix after watching the trailer? But seeing the netflix consensus rating i knew it was not as good as I expected.
