Quote:
"Set in 2010, Anchor Zone is about a bankrupt port. The community has been taken over by a corporation facing rebellion from feisty teenagers. [Henry] Czerny is the villain, a scientist using computers to boost the intelligence of its youth. Anchor Zone's assets include its gritty St. John's locations and a young, enthusiastic cast that features Nicole Stoffman, from the TV series Degrassi Junior High, and local comics Mark Critch and Andrew Younghusband. Liabilities include clunky special effects and props, and a confusing plot that seems awkwardly preoccupied with science fiction concepts such as computer implants in humans that have been more deftly used elsewhere."
