I don't know why B movies like this get made with no imagination or exposition. As much as I like seeing Ruther Hauer acting, the dialog has to give us something. We are stumbling through the movie much like Joe, never realizing the potential of the "magic" or what is at stake. If you don't know where the hero comes from or what he is fighting for, it's frustrating.
And considering they jump from one dimension to another and end up in boring desert scenes like the backlot of Burning Man, nothing to dazzle us. The bad guys are suits...boring...the group they're fighting for is vague as is their back story or motivation. Made for twenty somethings that can't figure out what to do and are happy waiting on the couch until a pretty girl in a skirt falls in their lap.
