My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Maya Entertainment)
Survivors of a crash landing on a desert planet hunt down their escaped prisoner. All but one is killed, leading to a long cat-and-mouse game between hunted and prey. It turns out one of them is the last surviving human and he's got information that can save, or destroy, the other's home planet. The film cannot avoid the towering influence of Star Wars: the desert setting, the design of the costumes, even the aliens all are derivative of the George Lucas original opus. The characters lack depth, they are macho, military types that rarely rise above stereotypes. The soundtrack is bombastic, overwhelming rather than enhancing the images. Finally, it displays an unhealthy, modern obsession with guns and gadgetry.
