Thoughtful yet action packed science fiction

Rating: 7/10 (20 June 2003)

This is one of the most interesting movies to come out in the past decade. It examines philosophical questions involving reality and fate, just like "2001: A Space Odyssey" and other similar movies, yet it also provides brutal violence and excellent special effects in the tradition of "Aliens." Furthermore, it has some of the best costumes in recent memory, at least in my opinion. The only drawback to this film is that it is so complicated you will need to watch it again if you hope to understand any of the sequels.
