Title: EXCELLENT SCI-FI
Review: This movie is completely mesmerizing, from its intelligent, thought-provoking script, to its eminently watchable cast and its profound humanity. The stylish look and feel of the movie, with its cool locations set in the not-too-distant future, nevertheless feel very real; indeed the whole premise feels entirely possible. Jude Law, lately of The Talented Mr. Ripley, is simply spectacular in a role that requires an actor of great power. I never understood why this film did not do much better in its initial release; it is a science fiction film with a heart and a brain, more in the realm of Contact. And the Michael Nyman musical score (The Piano)underscores the proceedings with an intensely melancholy theme, punctuating the sadness and triumphs of people not too different from ourselves caught in a world that seems to have forgotten what makes humans human.
