"In the first years of the 21st century...."


Are the writers THAT dumb?

This movie opens with "In the first years of the 21st century, a third world war broke out ...."




Wow.


Now, maybe if this film had been made in the 1980's one could let that slide, but good lorda'mighty is that ever a blunder.


Garbage movie, anyway, but they could have at least gotten their centuries correct.

Or, as this movie was made in 2001, who's to say a couple years later WW3 didn't start?

"Who's to say... ? "


Hmmm, maybe the people who made the movie, since the official advertising says:

"In a fascist future where all forms of feeling are illegal, ...... "

That doesn't sound like 2005, now does it?
