The U.S. government strong-arms a man accused of treason into rescuing the president's daughter from a maximum-security space prison that's been taken over by the inmates in a brutal riot. Guy Pearce, Maggie Grace, and Peter Stormare star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
While I realize this is seems to be a remake/sequel to Escape from NY/LA, I thought it was a good movie. I really enjoyed Snow's sense of humor, even better than Snake's in Escape from NY/LA.
Typical bad guy with a heart of gold is the only one that can save the damsel in distress set in the future and in space. If you can accept that as the premise, it isnt bad. I've seen a lot worse. The hero has some funny wise guy cracks throughout. Not a horrible flick, but OK.
Didn't mind it as much as some. Can see why it didn't make it to the theaters though and if it did i can see why you it didn't do well. But for entertainment value it was ok.
I gave this a better rating than the base because I enjoyed it. I had good and and was enjoyable. The story was OK. and if you like a combo of Sci-Fi and action movies this one should appeal to you.
