Kind of campy if you are in the mood. Earth has sent stern Captain Jowitt to replace the human workforce with droids.., 13 July 2005
8/10
Author: TrueLove87 from United States

Look out for Deep Roy starring as Grid, a cute little droid with a sarcastic sense of humor. He now stars as the Oompah Loompah's in Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Lorca is played by Aussie actor John Tarrent - a good looking bloke who needs some acting lessons. A Big Shame we never saw the beautiful talented Cassandra Webb (the actress who plays Suzi) on film again! Where did she go? The soundtrack is a throwback to the eighties. Tony Banks from Genessis and Peter Gabriel and Toya Wilcox make it a cool dark place. Look out for Aussie and Kiwi stars in smaller roles! A great science fiction film for kids because the action is relatively tame. The story is a cool idea. I liked the special effects too.
