OVER HYPED!

Rating: 1/10 (5 December 2001)

This by no means was a great movie. Movies like this and Taxi Driver, I just don't understand how people can rate it in the top 100 of ALL TIME.

Yes, the visual effects were great even by today's standards. But visuals alone don't make a movie. Otherwise the new Planet of the Apes should be mentioned in the top 100 too. Furthermore, I thought Ford was a total miscast (though not as much as Hoffman woulda been).
I kinda got the feeling this movie couldn't decide if it wanted to be a philosophical drama, but then an action movie at times. It ultimately failed on both fronts.
If you wanna see a philisophical, non-action Sci-Fi, IMO Gattaca did much better.
Like others have mentioned here, this woulda been much better as a short. Not a 2 hour picture. And as for all the different "versions", I don't even care anymore.
Check this one out if you will, just don't anticipate anything spectacular about it.
