Screamers(Philip dick) + Star Trek: voyager

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2013)

Amazing film!!!!
The film is an exact rip-off of Philip dick's second variety, in fact is a skewed prequel and can be called as 'The chronicles of Commander Joseph Hendrikson'..
This film champions Tom cruise as an 'actor', instead of making films where women want to have sex with his face. Worth an Oscar, but even Oscars are denigrated. A method actor. As he grows older, looks tough and natural and can dole out solid films like this for the next 10 years at least..
Zoe bell didn't say a word. But you really need real people like her and not actors for every damn role. Really levels the film.
Olga was tom's love interest , but kept the subtlety of the film. No hype---she's one reason i watched a tom cruise film, first time in my life. A woman needs to be a woman.
The film even goes on to show the Freemason's symbol or superpower or elitism etc etc that shows all power concentrated at the top and people being sheep, well technically they are all clones of Tom and Andrea Riseborough!! Excessive lethal control. If you do not abide by the fantasia provided and privileged to you, you are eliminated by war machines, as in using a drone to kill an ant!
And then there is the star-trek theme...when voyager( V-GER)leaves for deep space and returns with nothing but absolute intelligence in the voice(or form of a woman) persis khambatta in the original and Melissa Leo in the new.
From 2017 till now(2077) a superpower or Alien intelligence controls Earth with lethal absolution, using humans as the element by eliminating any threat and making them oblivious to their existence and control. It also goes on to show how tom and his trophy wife provided to him live an amorous life unable to live naturally. Always monitored and audited by machines. It has taken them so many years and clones and they are still unable to have discrete control.
Nice film to watch...really spans well...the tron guys did an awesome job.....considering they have done not many films but really it takes nearly 30 years to built content to get the ball rolling..
Animation was ace... and the sound, BEST ever in a film!!!!!!! As a critic and film hater the sound was unlike any film ever heard and synced well with the animation. It really shows you don't need ridley scott, hans zimmer or pixar to make a worthwhile watch..
This film is a cult, 20 to 30 years i see a sequel or remake....a no-shocker.
Here's looking forward to Riddick!! Give us what we need Twohy...
