Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A water monopoly meets its least cooperative customer in a desert world of tanks, rebels and mutant allies. Lori Petty attacks the material with a grin while animation, prosthetics and musical numbers compete for attention. The restless style is both the attraction and the reason some viewers will need a break.
