A very good surprise

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 1998)

When I bought the DVD, I didn't really know who was the director (I hadn't seen The Crow yet) but I knew it was a science fiction movie, which I like. I was surprised right away by the quality of the picture and the amazing camera movements ! The color, the ambiance remind me a mix of "Les Enfants de la Cite Perdue" from Caro and Jeunet (for the picture and atmosphere) and "Hellraiser" from Clive Barker (for the originality and atmosphere). Kiefer and Rufus are great actors and look really freaky. The sound and visual effects bring a lot to the movie. The end is a little deceiving (the battle brings the movie back to a traditional fight between Good and Evil) but the surprise coming after saves it all. I will give it a 10, the DVD version is a real thrill. The comments are great.
