Bladerunner Meets the Truman Show

Rating: 8/10 (29 August 2000)

John Murdoch awakens in the bath tub and is born into a dark, unfamiliar world. Struggling with vague and incomplete memories, he searches for answers.
In this world, as John discovers, there are "Strangers," alien beings who herd the human population to conduct there experiments to discover the human soul. The question is, who will believe him. It's a classic tale of reality vs. illusion; is John insane because to him reality is reality, while to everyone else reality is the illusion?
The DVD comes with commentary from Ebert; if you're into that sort of thing, I highly recommend watching it a second time through with it.
