Stuck between camp and SF

It's like the director wasn't sure what he wanted to make. It's too dumb for a serious SF movie and not trashy enough for an all-in camp grindhouse. Personally, I thinks that campy parts saved the movie, if there wasn't for Die Antwoord's performance and music this flick would've been worthless.

I'm glad this movie didn't take itself too seriously. This was a nice break from the boring norm.

Yeah. I was expecting it to be serious but it turned to have some funny parts which was OK to me!
