Beautiful and intense.

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 1999)

Easily one of the best sci-fi movies ever. It is well-written and flows at a good pace and the amazingly few holes are easily overlooked. The set design, while not completely original, is still gorgeous and the cinematography is breathtaking (I have a new appreciation for the beauty of fire). I would go on but I don't want to give anything away, let's just leave it as a "must see."
