Take from it what you want

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 1999)

I watched the movie and enjoyed it but would hardly call it the greatest sci-fi movie ever made, not even close. It was just wrapped up so neatly with too many over-used hollywood formulas. The "Forrest Gump" filter was definitely on when Zemeckis was making it. I was waiting for the feather to blow by while Foster was sitting atop the canyon.
That being said, the action was excellent as were the effects. The story was thought-provoking but unfortunately it answered it's own questions. Maybe the audience would have been better off not knowing what Allie saw but it's another example of the dumbing of America. Paint the picture and explain it, leave nothing up to the audience. Studios just don't want to take that risk anymore. Too bad..
