I don't usually like special effects movies, BUT

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 1999)

WOW!
I was very pleasantly surprised at this film.
There is actually a very good and very dark story.
The special effects only add to the story instead of detracting from it.
All of the supporting characters turned in performances that were just a hair short of being truly great.
Friends of mine that do not usually like either science fiction or special effects films liked it very much as well.
And, as one of them put it "Keanu Reeves does not ruin the movie."
This movie will not translate well to video -- the special effects and the sound (which was also incredible) just will not work on a small screen -- so I strongly suggest that you DO NOT wait for it to come out on video and see it in a theater with the sound system that will support this movie.
Enjoy.
