Saw this coming a mile away.
Saw this one in theaters. Let me tell ya, this movie had the most obvious "Edited for TV" feel to it than any other movie I think I've ever seen. Everything in the PG-13 version was horrendous. Not due to the lack of violence, but the way the film tried to cut around it. You could easily tell that the violence happened on-screen when the actors were performing it, so trying cutting away from that into a later shot was the most jarring editing experience I've ever seen.

"Die Hard" meets "Blade Runner"? From what I read about it, it sounds more like a ripoff of "Escape From New York".
For some reason I want to rent this movie though everyone says it stinks.
I saw this at the $2 theatre near me about a month ago and I almost walked out on it when they showed that it took place in 2079 but then in the opening scene Guy Pearce was getting a phone call on his cell phone and IT WAS A FRICKIN SMART PHONE FROM 2012. It was just some Android phone with a 4" screen and by 2079 what we know as cell phones will not even exist anymore and we will most likely wear something on our wrist or even have implants in our skin and it will have the same functions as a cell phone and project a menu like a hologram or something.
Anyways after I decided to stay I just pretended it was taking place in 2019 because any supposed 'future technology' you see in the movie is only as advanced as 7 years from now, if even that. I know this is supposed to be a scifi trash b-movie homage to movies like Fortress and Escape From New York and so on but to just make up the year it takes place which was clearly an afterthought was just ridiculous.
Guy Pearce was really the only redeeming factor in an otherwise awful movie.

More Escape from L.A.

they should have used the poster cover. the dvd artwork is terrible and his face is so obviously airbrushed.
Yea but Die Hard was rated R and I think Blade Runner was also rated R so why is this than Rated PG 13 it should have been Rated R .
DEFINITELY needed to be R. Also if u watch the trailer theres a chase scene that was nowhere in the film. I imagine its at the beginning with snow probably escaping the hotel room. I hope the unrated version has it but i cant see them adding that. I wish it would at least be a deleted scene on the disc.
"Die Hard meets Blade Runner" is absolutely insulting to both Die Hard and especially Blade Runner.
I was actually sorta looking forward to this and saw it on opening day and it was just terrible. It was rated PG-13 because there was just absolutely no way it would ever make it's budget back unless they could get everyone they could into the theater.
Don't bother even renting it, wait for it on TV if you really want to see it.

i literally had no idea this movie existed until i saw a tv spot for it like 3 days before it was starting, thats not a good sign. lol
I did not see much advertising for it either. I think I saw the commercials for it maybe five times or so.

Except that one is really a parody of the other...and not nearly as good.

I meant story-wise. The plots are virtually identical. I prefer the first one myself, but I could never shake the feeling that the sequel gave me a bad case of deja vu alot of the time. I saw the second not only as a parody of the first, but also as a mockery of the Hollywood industry as well. I really wish it has been more like the latter and not the former. Shame that "Escape From Earth" never happened. I would like to have seen that one.

In this case Lockout has a lot more in common with L.A than New York, quality-wise. There's also the President's daughter link.
