I know i sound harsh but there's little to thrill in this film at all but it is mildly entertaining as it pulls out all the fight contest cliches towards the inevitable finale. |
I've never seen Arena but I can still remember it being advertised in the Britannia video club catalogue many many moons ago. It was written up to sound like this major sci-fi epic. As it was no video store around me seemed to carry it.
