Andrew Lau uses his obsession with CGI to great effect in this sci-fi supposedly not based on Tekken film! Like most sci-fi films, the "sci" part of the story gets a bit convoluted at times, but never distracted me from my enjoyment! In sum, some time in the distant future when the ozone layer is all-but destroyed and people travel by flying scooters and cars (a la "Fifth Element") scientists have developed a way to tap into the unused portions of the human brain. By utilizing a "power glove" a crack team of 100 police were used to experiment with this glove but there were side effects and all but three of the original gloves were destroyed. Apparently man shouldn't be messing so much with mother nature, but experimentee Roy Cheung doesn't have a problem with that, steals a glove and starts an evil cult! Gotta love the classical evil cult in HK cinema!

Anyway, skip ahead 20 years and we have the carefree twins Belle and Nova (Kristie Yang and Leehom Wang) who just love to speed around on their scooters and hang out while buddy Chin Kar Lok tries to keep them out of trouble. (This made more difficult by the fact that Nova has powers and likes to fight and Belle has powers and loves to flirt!) Don't want to give too much of the plot away (it's not as confusing as some reviews I've read on line make it out to be! Too many people suffer from the "wahhh, I just can't understand science fiction so it must suck" ailment!) Like "2002" this movie has a bit of everything, a son's angst over the loss of his father at a young age, a frustrated single mom (Cecilia Yip is really fantastic as the long-suffering mother!), a great looking cast, interesting use of CGI in a futuristic setting, fun fight scenes, Roy Cheung TOTALLY hamming it up as the bad guy, not to mention Yuen Biao in a role that turned out to be bigger than I expected! Oh, and don't forget Sammo in a cool silver hat doing wire fu with special effects! Cool cool cool, really loved this film!
