I just watched this movie for the first time last week. It is cheesy as heck and the story isn’t deep (I know it is an action movie with a bit of story thrown in there). Nonetheless I was so impressed by the beginning of the movie that it made me ponder a lot on my own when the movie ended, even though those views already permeated my mind. I would recommend this over Robocop which is what people throw around for the same “vibe” (action with some deep lore).
Edit: Mid 90’s kid btw!
