I felt it was a bit on the fence (straight up matinee entertainment, vs. satire), Robocop was much more clearly drawn. Entertaining AF though. The cast, them that had any chops, mostly dialed it in, including Michael Ironside. He was lot more committed in (e.g.) The Last Chapter. Denise Richards was painfully earnest -- satire? FX were pretty cool, but the plot was forgettable, stock scifi war movie.

As far as that (satire) goes, I felt Screamers was far more effective, and better scifi to boot (and it also had scifi satire A-lister, robocop's Peter Weller). Must try to find that again.
