Truly fascinating

Rating: 8/10 (5 October 1998)

This one started a little slowly for me, I actually almost lost interest because the movie almost didn't hold together for me for the first 15 minutes or so. I found the character development to be very slow, but I think this was appropriate because of the nature of the plot. I'm glad I hung in. I found the story line to be TRULY fascinating (I don't see too many really good sci-fi movies anymore). Special effects were outstanding (the complete change of the cityscape was great and the aliens were really well done). This is one that needs to be seen more than once because of the intricacy of the story (i.e. who/what are we really?).
