Intriguing story with layers of meaning to sort.

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 1999)

My husband and I are Science Fiction types and we found this film excellent from that angle. It was reminiscent in places of a couple novels or short stories we have read but with a twist that was intriguing. I also saw some tones of a religious bent, the good being attacked by the evil aliens and how different reality is once released from the safe world. I am not impressed with violence for violence sake or even violence for special effects sake and here the movie falls in my opinion. I hope there will be a sequel with more work on the theme of which world is better, the real or the protected cocoon.
