Informative, thought-provoking, but uncertain in idea department

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2002)

This film is technically very well done--the editing is especially good--and it offers real informational value and food for thought, but whatever reasons Ridley Scott had for making the movie either cancel each other out or get lost in the carnage and cliches. It's worth seeing, though. It will probably get its share of Oscars.
