This is easily one of the most underrated sci fi gems out there. After watching it again and reading on wikipedia the terrible reception it got on release, I felt the need to put the record straight.
Critics complained: "Bad script and confusing plot undermine the movie's impressive visuals." They would have been better to write: "I'm too stupid to get this"
The story has a bit more complexity than your standard popcorn movie but nothing crazy or Lynch-esk.
No spoilers here - just watch it and you won't regret it.
Afterwards, imagine an A-list actor (Tom Cruise or something) in the lead role and you might agree with me that that was the only thing that stopped it from being a potential blockbuster. (Not that there's anything wrong with Craig Bierko's performance, he's a very underrated actor himself and should be on our screens more than he is).
