Visually Exciting, interesting storyline

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2000)

As an overall film I thought this was fantastic, but it did take me a while to get into the swing of things. At the start I felt it was fairly incoherent, but as with many films it explains itself clearly so by the end of the film the viewer can understand or at least appreciate what the entire film was about, and what messages it was trying to convey. There are some truly creepy scenes in this film, but they are all done so well. The special effects are fantastic, and the acting is well above average, especially for a science fiction film. Its one of the films that you can go away thinking about, trying to piece together the puzzle. It was nice to see Kiefer Sutherland back in form, and Jennifer Connelly have more than a supporting role for a change. The whole concept of the film was very unique, which made it interesting to watch. Probably not a film for all tastes, but for anyone that likes sci-fi its a definite must see.
