The title refers to subterranean "autonomous mobile swords," or more specifically to the noise these make before they carve up enemy soldiers on the planet Sirius 6B in the year 2078. What follows after the title has a few things to tide over the science-fiction fancier till something better comes along: some good après la guerre and fin-du-monde atmosphere; a good inversion of the genre's pitiful-waif cliché (see Waterworld, Aliens, The Road Warrior, et al.); a good little malevolent robot in the form of a miniature metallic dinosaur skeleton. Otherwise the movie — an escape from videos and television for director Christian Duguay — is the personification of hypocrisy, ostensibly defending the cause of endangered humanity while happily surrendering to the despotism of special effects, computer graphics, rigid plot formulas. With Peter Weller and Jennifer Rubin. (1996) — Duncan Shepherd
