Target audience: I don't want to be biased but I think the film was made for more males then females. I think a 70% male to 30% female audience. The age rating is 18+ for the violence inside the film. The age rating which would like this film would me 18 or higher because the theme of the film is not for children for example really heavy violence is in this film.
WWW: This is a good choice of film and I would agree that it fits the Science Fiction genre. Does it also fit the superhero or comic book genre too?
