Mindblowing!

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2006)

I can't add much more to some of the other many-starred reviews here, suffice to say the film will have you thinking long after you have left the theater. At the same time it is not everyone's cup of tea and expects a lot from the viewer. Don't look too much for answers, as you sometimes have to put together your own.
The visual effects are stunning and,don't betray the "lowish" budget of $30 million this cost to make. They're done with some old-fashioned methods, fluid chamber work, model work and a dash of CG. The result is poetic and amazing.
It's kind of like 2001: A Space Odyssey, of this time though,and even then that film asked viewers a lot, rather than provide easy answers.
