Distinct characters and unusual plot makes for my new favorite movie.

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2006)

Since the first time I saw this movie years ago, it has been my favorite. I believe this stands for about 5 years now. The characteristics of the "perfect being" is enough in & of itself. Throw in Bruce Willis (yum) and a complex love-hate relationship with plenty of military red tape and you've got yourself a great movie. Unlike most save-the-world films, this plot does not resolve in an instant with a quick-fix. Characters working together run into difficulty after difficulty, most of which have a little humor thrown in but not enough to destroy the seriousness and suspense that are building. I have highly recommended this to anyone with whom I discussed good films, but have been amazed at the number of people who had never heard of it before. Go rent it now! Note- not for those who are too grown-up to leave satire unstated and just enjoy the terrific movie.
