Without a doubt, this is my Millennium movie

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 1999)

I recently voted this film my "Millennium movie" after much deliberation and this is why. Never before have I seen such a vibrant, colourful Science Fiction film that I can watch time after time with no less interest.
For a start, the costumes and sets are alive with colour - something that is a startling contrast to the usual dark, almost sinister look of most Science Fiction films. From the outlandish costumes to the well thought out alien creatures the visuals ooze style.
The story, although sometimes a little shallow, is in itself a great good versus evil battle without giving you the feeling that you've seen it somewhere before.
Bruce Willis carries his usual tough guy, action-man character into the film without once looking out of place - this was the one actor I thought could have ruined the feel of the movie. Outstanding performances from Gary Oldman and Chris Tucker, along with some superb bit part appearances from the likes of Tricky and Lee Evans are just a few of the many that make up a superb cast.
To me, this film will become a timeless classic - certainly one I will be watching way into the next millennium.
