Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn combines a wasteland pursuit with fantasy machinery, strange powers and a villain whose authority extends beyond a simple criminal scheme. The ruined landscape gives vehicles and scavenged objects the feel of relics. Watch how the film establishes its quest through concrete routes and confrontations while allowing its mythology to remain extravagant. Its original emphasis on three dimensional spectacle also makes objects approaching the camera a distinctive part of its visual rhythm.
