What good SF is all about.

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 1998)

It's nice to see a good science fiction story treated as a real story. I.e., well-acted, thought-out, directed, and so on.
Essentially about what it means to be human, and the lines that our creations can cross, this is a wonderful story with good surprises and many unanswered questions.
Kinda like life, eh?
Fantastic music, great scenery--this set the stage for any number of imitators (and I understand from Aint-It-Cool-News.com, that the new Total Recall 2070 series is a blatant rip-off of this).
See it, if you haven't--I'd recommend the non-director's cut, as the voice-overs help a great deal in understanding the movie.
