Triumph in art direction and photography, failure in storytelling

Rating: Null/10 (27 October 2001)

The majority of those who have praised this film are those whose admiration for the its art direction and photography took over their judgment. Take away those two elements and what you have left was a dull, uninspired science fiction flick. Although I have to give it some credit for its triumphs, but they're not enough to justify it as a masterpiece as some have labeled it for years.
