“A step beyond science fiction.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 62, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A sinister orb links animated tales of warriors, spaceships, sex and extremely poor judgment. The anthology keeps changing its visual and musical flavour, sometimes more coherently than it changes stories. An adult cult-animation night for viewers happy to let the next bizarre image do the explaining.
