Convincing sci-fi of the near future

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 1999)

One of the reasons I like it so much is that it gives a rather realistic depiction of a future that is not so far ahead. It is my firm belief that in about 50 years we 'll have computers more intelligent than humans and maybe will be able to put it in a biological container. In that sense the film is quite different from sci-fi films as Alien or Starship Troopers(bleh). It also is less violent but the violence can therefore be more intense. The visual effects are stunning and the whole film is a bit dreamlike, surrealistic. Even if one dislikes the storyline one can easily be mesmerized by it cinematography. I give it a 10 out of 10.
