This short prequel to Luc Besson's "Le Dérnier Combat" is a weak, disjointed and tiring film that is mildly interesting thanks to its production values, considering that a young director has to use a limited budget to present his post-apocalyptic flick. For those who watched the feature film, the settings, cinematography, actors are all the same but this one misses big time because there's no time to explore the magic, the aesthetic of an underworld where voices aren't heard, everything is an ammount of garbage occupying spaces and people fight their way in order to survive. In the 1983 movie, I've felt that there was a need for survival; in this one it all falls apart, it just feels those men who to battle themselves over and over while the soundtrack gets painfully louder, bizarre and annoying. Here's an empty and early example of the cinema dú look, which would benefit more with the feature films of Besson, Beneix and Carax in amazing stories. 5/10

This short is good food for sci-fi post-apocalyptic adepts. The screen image and the sound are very original while making sense (as well as today). Some real esthetics questions (with the costumes too) without much budget. A scenario quite simple for an early work of youngs actors and filmakers, forgivable for a movie that shows a combine author and fantastic B serie work.
