All show and no substance!

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2003)

How I longed for this film to end! Having rented it on dvd, I was bitterly disappointed after having read the positive comments about it on IMD. True, the effects are good, but the wafer thin plot just does not merit the two and a quarter hour length. The story is quite confusing in places and I'm afraid that the characters left me cold, with no interest in them or their situations. Another one of the over hyped films from Hollywood that unfortunately is forced upon us. The comparison with Gattaca by the way, which a previous reviewer has made is not in my opinion justified. Gattaca is by far superior on all levels and a very enjoyable one to boot.
