Best sci-fi action since Terminator 2

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 1999)

A movie that pays tribute to many of the great sci-fi movies of the past while charting its own territory. Great, great action sequences, superb cinematography, well realized concept. First half hour a little slow but after that the movie pulls you in and just keeps building. Please let the Academy nominate a sci-fi movie for once and give full credit to the creative visuals in this film. Critics usually have trouble "getting" sci-fi movies: this movie's visuals deserve the chance to put an end to the embarrassing lack of critical appreciation of this genre.
