A superb, visionary look at an original universe

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 1998)

An excellent combination of film noir and science fiction, and a marvelous display of imagination from director Alex Proyas. His previous film, "The Crow," while similar in its use of art direction and cinematography, did not prepare me for the complete originality of this effort. Not since "2001: A Space Odyssey" has a film so completely captured my imagination in its vision.
