Not your typical sci-fi movie.

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2002)

How many sci-fi films are there that can make you shed a tear? It would have been interesting to see Francis Ford Coppola's vision of the movie, but he lost the fight for the rights to it. None-the-less a powerful, touching story. I waited 10 years for the movie to be made after reading the novel. I couldn't wait to see how the ending was going to be done visually. But alias the director took a short-cut.
