Viewing Notes
The slightest of the three DOA films, if not in plot at least in technical execution, since this was filmed digitally and the quality, especially coloring, suffers for it.
Set in the distant future of of the 23rd century in a city-state that seems to propagate homosexuality as a utopian ideal of love and outlaws procreation. Interesting premise, and there’s still plenty to like about the film, but the poor quality of the digital process really takes away from it at times.
