[edit] Reception

The movie did not go over well for some fans of the books, since the director took liberties with the storyline and characters. The lack of a proper budget was also a major problem; one reviewer opined that the film's budget was "well into the tens of dollars." Other fans, however, praised the unique camera work and innovative style.

Key changes in the film included making one fan favorite character, albino teen Jak Lauren, a hot-headed mutant savage and completely omitting the character of Doc Tanner.
