one kick a** movie

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 1999)

I went to a preview screening of this movie, and it kicked a**! This was as visually stunning as Dark City, except it packs a lot more punch. It's too bad it's coming out this time of year, it has all the potential to be a huge summer hit, and it is sad that its accomplishments will probably be dwarfed by Phantom Menace. This has some of the nicest camera work I've ever seen (some of it similar to Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels). This movie also manages to create whole world, in the same way that Dark City did. All in all, this is probably one of the best sci-fi flicks of the decade, and it is certainly much more innovative in its special effects than Phantom Menace seems to be.
PS: don't be scared of the fact that Keanu Reeves is in this, he does a good enough job not to ruin the picture
