A fully-realized, concise sci-fi universe.

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2000)

I went into the theater not knowing what to expect. I left the theater thinking about nothing but the movie. I haven't been that impressed with a film in far too long. Most action films have to be given a bit of...what is it called...suspension of disbelief, in order to be enjoyable. This film snatched my mental portion of suspended disbelief and took me for quite a ride. The simple betrayal and "saved by a woman's love" cliches aside, it was as near-perfect a thing as I've seen on screen in way too long.
