In 2092 rocket powered bin divers stumble onto a treasure in the debris and try to profit from it, but they encounter a clone Elon Musk – vacuous, soulless, mindless, destructive, and solipsistic. There is the usual corporate corruption, the usual political connivance, and the usual general stupidity. All the lazy scriptwriters’ crutches.
One chase after another follows, each loud and colourful, but the pace is slowed by too many back stories. It seems everyone has one, except the villain-in-chief and his endless robotic minions.
The multi-lingual international characters are cartoon cardboard. About one hour too long for the story.
What did W. C. Fields say about working with children? Don’t!
I opted for peace and quiet and turned it off.
Much similarity to Cosmic Rescue (2003) reviewed earlier.
