Refreshingly intelligent SF. Destined to be a classic.

Rating: Null/10 (11 April 1999)

I fastidiously avoided spoilers before seeing the movie, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. What I got was one of the first SF movies I've seen a while that actually seems willing to let the science fiction be part of the plot instead of just an excuse for fancy sets and special effects. Not that this movie skimps at all on the special effects--and they're absolutely incredible--but there's also some intelligence behind it. I think that this one will go down as a cult classic. Cool movie. You should see it.
