nothing utopian about this

The latest re-imagination of The Stepford Wives.What is it about men and their supposed desire for the complete and utter subjugation of women. Yes, you can say it's fantasy, but why, I ask why??? It can only be the real fantasies of some real men. Sickening, really.Well, I don't think the acting was that bad. Some of the reviews seem to be taking the movie concept out on the actors. Incidentally, one of the main characters - Rupert - seems to be uncredited. Perhaps he realised what a crock this is - one can only hope.I'm giving it a 5 because I think that some of the supporting cast only appear in these kind of movies because they need the money and hope for some sort of recognition. Shame.

decent entertainment which has its moments

So the story's about a Special Ops type man who dives into a Westworld-style environment to rescue his ex-partner. She's been kidnapped and forced into a disturbing world of indulgence for wealthy men, with the women relegated to something close to AI servitude.It's a decent watch. The plot's fairly predictable for the most part, but the final ten minutes deliver a clever twist that raises some thought-provoking questions. Unfortunately, those ideas are left hanging and never really explored, which feels like a missed opportunity.That said, it's an entertaining 90 minutes if you like this kind of thing. The stunts are excellent, the production values hold up well, and there are a few moments that lift it above your standard action-thriller fare.I don't agree with some of the harsher reviews, to be honest: the acting is solid enough, with a couple of standout performances. And all the fuss about the nudity? Probably coming from Americans. Odd how there's plenty of outrage over nudity, yet the extreme violence barely gets a mention. Since when is nudity worse than violence? Makes you wonder.

Smutopia

Westworld knockoff with a Sin City sleaze. Not enough budget or high enough rating to succeed at either genre. If not for all the gratuitously bawdry burlesquity presented throughout, the film would be insufferable in its entirety. The plot is melodramatically corny and takes itself too seriously. The acting is wooden. The characters are annoying. The gunplay is absurdly overwrought. The ridiculous story drags on and on with too many long takes of the lead airhead bimbo emoting like a deer in the headlights. The fast forward button is you friend if you commit all the way through to the horrible ending.
