Unlike anything I've seen before.

Rating: Null/10 (22 February 1999)

I just finished this movie a couple of hours ago. I think one-of-a-kind would be the best way to describe it. It's got a great sense of atmosphere; the b&w photography and the industrial/techno/jungle/trip-hop soundtrack added to it. I liked the connection between religion and science, territory which, until "Contact", hadn't been deeply explored. I also liked being able to follow much of the math, and the reasoning behind it. To sum it up, this is a unique film; it shows that there's more to science fiction than smoke and mirrors. I recommend it.
btw: did anyone else think the scenes of the brain were, in a sense, foreshadowing?
