Superb example of what Superb film making is, and should be!!

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 1999)

Simply put, probably the finest movie of contemporary life in a society where incongruent disparities are colliding with Velekovsky like results. I would not recommend this to the dispassionate movie goer who would rather experience robots, spaceships, and the obligatory hero-villain/beautiful woman/ little kid scenario where the roller coaster eventually stops in "and they lived happily after" land! This may be too graphic for the weak at heart, and the all consuming hate current that runs through the soul of this saga may even be totally unbelievable to the naive among us, but what this powerhouse exposes is the true nature of the beast that runs rampant while most of us choose to turn deaf ears and blind eyes! Pretty loud alarms sound about every 5 or 10 minutes in this movie, and Ed Norton should be heralded as the most capable actor of the 90's. I really didn't see any "slouch" in this movie, and it had a deep seated uneasy effect on me for days, which to me made it an even more powerful viewing experience than the immediate aftershock. Message received loud and clear, we better start getting things together, right?
