The wars between east and west have left the planet decimated. The east has won, forming an alliance known as Eurasia. But the planet has been ravaged beyond the point of repair by nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, and a half-century of warfare has taken a devastating toll on all mankind. At first, it appears that salvation is imminent when a highly respected geneticist named Azuma announces the discovery of a so-called "neo cell" that can rejuvenate the human body without risk of rejection. Mankind's last hope threatens to become its ultimate downfall, however, when nature and science combine to create a menace that could very well extinguish the human race forever. Now, as the human race prepares to make its last stand against the ultimate enemy, a powerful warrior will emerge to fight for mankind and provide hope for future generations.
With dazzling special effects this is quite a ride. It would be misleading to describe it as Matrix meets Frankenstein although there are connections and homages paid to both. Some of the action scenes become very Japanese in that they stretch credulity somewhat. But this does not detract from the overall. Well worth seeing.
