Despite what some critics may say, it's a great movie!

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2000)

I find it easy to understand why many critics don't like this movie. It's not the most original movie ever created. At times it can be far from scientifically accurate. But it's a Sci-Fi movie, so who cares? Just because a few things might not be possible, doesn't mean it ruins the movie. If you really stop and think about it, half the stuff in most sci-fi's are impossible.
Ignoring the complaints, I rented this movie and highly enjoyed the whole thing. Start to finish I was paying great attention to the movie. The actors and actresses did an amazing job and it shows. The use of light isn't always perfect, but it can be stunning at times.
In my opinion, to really enjoy this movie wait until you are in a good mood and have time to set back and relax. Then, just enjoy it. Don't try and pick out all the little details that's wrong, and don't spend the whole time comparing it to the sci-fi movies that came before it. There is a lot of great acting and a interesting story in this movie. And to make the whole thing even better, the special effects are at times stunning.
