Better than most! Worth seeing.

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2001)

Certainly this film was interesting and groundbreaking.
The effects broke new ground. What made this film also unique in this era was not only the look and feel, but there was actually an INTERESTING CONCEPT behind it! Wow! A 90's film that wasn't brain dead!

Most action films are so stupid they are pathetic. While this film was not literary genius, it was a good plot and a great concept. Unheard of in an ACTION film. The concept also was such that it allowed for the suspension of logic in the action. Instead of stupidly ignoring science and physics, this film said "none of this is real"! What better venue in which to create a surreal world?
While the cocept was almost brilliant and the plot was reasonably well developed, I wish the writers had gone just a little farther with the intelligent potential this concept offered. It was still a little "dumbed down"; just not as much as most movies today. If this film had added a little more time and expanded on the concepts, plus added a higher education level to the dialogue, it could have been one of the greats of all time.
Still, this movie remains a rare breath of fresh air in a world of otherwise hackneyed plots and trite dialogue.
