Intelligent movie, AMAZING effects

Rating: Null/10 (4 April 1999)

A number of other commentators have noted that this film calls Philip K. Dick to mind (probably thinking of "We Can Remember it for You Wholesale" which was made into "Total Recall").
Actually, it reminds me very much of Fritz Leiber's "You're All Alone" which Leiber also rewrote as "The Sinful Ones." For anyone who liked The Matrix, I would recommend reading either or both of those stories, and Leiber in general.
A few complained about the screenplay or plot, but I thought it was very enjoyable all around, and found the "exposition scenes" to be helpful, and not tedious at all.
The effects are just amazing, though, and that's the main reason why I went to see it, just like with "What Dreams May Come," which also had amazing effects. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Jackie Chan movie employing the "bullet time" effect in the future as well...in fact, I hope we will.
