It sure leaves an impression

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2001)

Dense, intelligent, exhausting, mythic, and awe-inspiring. I fear it will take several viewings to get the genuine impact of this film, but my initial reaction is that this will be added to the collective unconscious of humanity. It will probably last. In the way that many of the classics have. I suspect I will be watching this thing and its sequels on brain-memory chip, or whatever the heck storage technology we have 50 years from now. And remembering how I felt back in December of 2001 when I first stumbled out of the theater.
