SciFi at its finest

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2017)

I've just seen this on C4 the network premier. I have wanted to see it for ages, but as you know life moves on and you forget. I remember thinking how much it interested me because I did foundation art about cyborgs and sentient beings when I went to college in the late 1980s. I passed with flying colours as I based it on things like Aliens, and Terminator, and my fave film of all time Robocop the original. I built a suit out of things like an old betamax video and some WW2 radio bits and goggles. Then I sprayed the background with graffiti. So I passed. So I've always loved special effects, and the likes of Stan Winston Ray Harryhausen my favourite, Rob Botin. So when I saw how breathtakingly good the effects were in this movie I was pleased I was finally going to see it. Breathtaking is one way to look at it. The film was a modern day Frankenstein I'd say. Horrible genius creates. No I won't ruin it for you.Suffice to say the plot superb the acting flawless. Nothing not to like really. I don't want to ruin it with plot spoilers I just want to praise it as Fatboy slim says. So watch it. I've lost the will to write this as there's hundreds of reviews. But I must say give it a go. Amazing and now in my top ten Scifi films, with the likes of Terminator, Aliens, Robocop, Star wars originals and so on.
