This is a wildly ambitious, often bewildering ride. Expect a bombastic, over-the-top spectacle with dated sci-fi flair and melodramatic performances. It feels like a fever dream of 80s action, blending swordplay with bizarre futuristic elements, best enjoyed with a sense of humor and a forgiving spirit.
