A thought for those who didn't "get" why this movie is so great: watch it again. I really liked it the first time I saw it, but LOVED it the second time. What a great, deep movie. Even Keifer's performance was much improved on second viewing. And I don't understand why people think the ending is a let down. Those final shots of him recapturing the love of his life have to be among the most romantic images ever put in a "sci-fi" movie. He creates Shell Beach, brings light to the world, and meets the woman he fell in love with who now suffers from the amnesia that he suffered with at the beginning. She stood up for him while his memories were gone, now he'll do the same for her. This is what true love is all about, and we know they'll get together. Plus the movie has a great SCORE. I only wish I saw this in a theater.
