Amazing

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 1999)

This is an intelligent, compassionate film. In 1997, it was one of two intelligent science fiction movies (the other was Gattaca).
This is a brilliant film, from the awe-inspiring opening sequence to the ending, it rings with true emotions. Jodie Foster gives a performance I would have nominated for the oscar, and Basset is no less than stunning. The directing, while good, lets this film wander for two and a half hours.
I rated this film number 3 of 1997, behind The Sweet Hereafter and Gattaca.
