Overview
After a comet disrupts the rain cycle of Earth, the planet has become a desolate, barren desert by the year 2033. With resources scarce, Kesslee, head of the powerful and evil Water & Power Corporation, the de facto government, has taken control of the water supply. Unwilling to cower under Kesslee's tyrannical rule, a pair of outlaws known as Tank Girl and Jet Girl rise up, joining the mysterious rebel Rippers to destroy the corrupt system.
Are there things to like about this movie? Yes, there are. The actors (especially Lori Petty) lean in to this movie with everything they have. Despite how goofy this whole thing may have felt in the studio, the actors tried hard. Also, we hear all the time how the Christopher Nolans and Tim Burtons of the worlds changed action and superhero movies – I would say that this movie was also an attempt to make such a movie on a shoestring budget. In that sense, they succeeded.
If you enjoyed this film, it is because you enjoyed the campiness of it. And there is no shame in that! It does have value. But other than that…. woof.
