Enticing Sci-Fi Movie, a must watch for Sci-Fi fans

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2011)

I recently watched this for the first time, and I'm quite pleased with this film overall. I love the classic Star Wars movies, and this plot and settings seems like Star Wars/Terminator/The Fugitive/Robocop mixed together; very exciting.
The visuals, cinematography, lighting, and 80's special effects make this movie worth watching on their own. However, the plot seems to jump around a lot, and even skips some major build up; some scenes just happen as if everyone knows what's going on, and the viewer is expected to put the pieces together. But I guess that's part of what makes this movie good, people are allowed to make of it what they wish, instead of being spoon feed all the details.
Despite the plot skips, this is an excellent film. The twisted futuristic concepts and visuals are a creative work of genius. At some parts I forgot that I was watching an 80's film, as some scenes are so brilliantly done that they seem like a feasible glimpse into the future. But then I'm brought back to reality with some of the 80's hairstyles and 80's movie aspects; like random scenes with midgets, old digital displays, and the fact that nobody had cell phones or ipads.
Also, this is some classic Harrison Ford acting, if you're a fan of Ford, or Star Wars, or anything Futuristic or Sci-Fi, you must watch this film at least once.
