Slow start, but a good movie.

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2000)

I think overall this was a good movie. It had basically 1 flaw, it is very dated. The reason it starts slowly is to show you the world it is set in. In the 80s, this cyber-punk, polluted kind of world was still a new idea. In the 00's this has been done to death. However, the second half of the movie (maybe just the last 3rd) seems to redeem it. It's weird, it moves slowly, doesn't have anything new to say (today, it was saying something new when it was made) and it's too long. Yet, I like it. The only thing I can compare it too is 12 Monkeys, which suffers from mostly the same things, but somehow, I like them both.
