    I still have nightmares that a plot may emerge, and steal me away. But no, it's just a dream, and nothing happened. Like Star Trek 1, resources that could have helped the planet were squandeded needlessly...

    Brilliant film, excellent soundtrack, poor iTunes HD copy. My bluray copy is far superier to this.
  • WARNING! This is Sci-Fi Horror!

    I bought this as I thought it was a straight forward science-fiction movie. Though it is a decent movie I think is worth pointing out that there is a strong horror element for half an hour near the end of the movie.
  • Brilliant!

    This is my favourite sci-fi movie. I could watch it over and over again. The special effects alone in this are incredible. Wonderfully intelligent little gem.
  • So underrated

    100000/5 stars, my one criticism though is that they shouldn't have used lux aterna (requiem for a dream) in the trailer

    There is nothing outstanding in this film. It is a miss-mash of various ideas from other films glued together with a tenuous story line and a bunch of actors that are so wooden it is beyond belief. The ‘plot’ such as it is is woefully predictable and as such it is a disappointment. Those believing that it is “amazing” or “underrated” are, regrettably, deluded. Small wonder you cannot rent this, no-one would buy it!
  • Destined to be a Classic!

    Underrated on its release, this film is slowly becoming a (cult) classic of the genre. Essential viewing for those who prefer their sic-fi intelligent!
