Description:
As this hokey adventure continues, Arjuna needs to be "cleansed" to develop her untapped powers. She travels to the mountains with Tokio and meets an old man who preaches a clichéd philosophy of ecologically wholesome living--while smoking. Under his tutelage, Arjuna sees visions of agribusiness and how food has become tainted with pesticides, preservatives, etc. Back in the city, Tokio eats a fast-food hamburger and is stricken with a mysterious illness linked to the Raaja demons. In a singularly tasteless sequence, Arjuna battles the monsters inside Tokio's intestines. After he recovers, she gets more lessons in fortune-cookie philosophy from their sullen math teacher. When Arjuna has to save Chris from yet another Raaja, Tokio, who has been more than patient, grows angry and confused--and so may the viewer. The visuals are marred by numerous electronic artifacts and glitches. (Rated 13 and older: violence, nudity, grotesque imagery, tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
