Disjointed and meandering, the
last movie by Payne is preachy and ineffectual in equal measure. It
does not work as science fiction, comedy, or social commentary. An
initial burst of energy is derailed by a nihilist ecologist discourse
that belongs in Greenpeace pamphlets. The high concept had an
interesting potential shown in the socioeconomic variables in play,
quickly hidden to bring up survivalist American progressive lunacy, even
when is spew in foreign accents. Not recommended. And shame on Payne
for ruining the concept in the first place.
