Damn, and it started so well...

Rating: 5/10 (28 November 2004)

A movie whose pace starts out well enough, but can't keep it going.
When this movie opened I was surprised, the visuals are quite advanced, and the portrayal of a rebuilt future society is excellent. The movie is quite good up until it goes from being a weird mystery (What exactly is happening to that kid?) to being a pseudo-DragonballZ philosophical mess. Basically the movie feels like it was written in 1 night and the writer couldn't figure out how to end it, so he just filled the last hour with random fighting, which you at least could forgive if it led to something, but it doesn't. Overall it's very disappointing, such a waste of what seemed at least to be a solid movie with a solid plot.
