As with most science fiction movies of late, the special effects are absolutely amazing (think “The Matrix”). Unfortunately, the plot is a little scattered so it is easy to get lost if you are unfamiliar with the MTV animated series that the film is based on. The complex choreography of martial arts battles and the portrayal of futuristic gadgetry are fascinating, but unfortunately the level of violence puts it well over the acceptable limits of the Dove seal. The violence is not only visual but is also accompanied by what I can only imagine to be pretty accurate sound effects (think bones breaking, skin slicing, bullets piercing skin) that take it to a much more gruesome level.
