Yes, it IS more than hot special effects!

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 1999)

Well, that quote in the preview, "you have to see it for yourself" worked on me; I went and saw it. But still I went only expecting those great digital effects, and not much in the way of a plot. I even wondered if all that computer generated imagery there for no other reason than to dazzle the eye. Boy, was I ever wrong! This sci-fi thriller had a great storyline, written and directed by two brothers. Think of it having a dark reality like in Blade Runner, yet the action and adventure of Die Hard. Great effects, unique sci-fi quirks, and an AI Agent so rotten you're glad to get to the end of the movie just so you can see him get killed off! Unfortunately, I cannot give away the storyline... you have to see it for yourself!
