Has a great myth which overcomes rather dated limits

Rating: 8/10 (1 September 2018)

Just re-watched it. It was enjoyable and thought provoking, though a few things niggled.
I can't help but think that the depiction of the computer interface would be much better done today. Cronenberg vests the production with brains and passion, and this made me overlook the hokiness of that representation.
And as much as I can certainly see his straining for professionalism, Getz's work here is distracting. Was it a lapse in Cronenberg's direction?
But it's safe to say these distractions can be set aside in order to mainline the payload myth, which has to do with... the nature of nature, at its most elemental. I suppose more folks might pick up on a "tech hubris" message... and that's OK, too.
If you haven't seen it, it's pretty much de riguour for buffs, so get it under your belt, already!
