A great movie

I remember, when this movie was released, there was not so much buzz about it but I still ended up watching it with my two of my buddies in the theater. To be honest, we were completely stoned when we went to watch it and the only thing I could remember was that my friends were constantly fidgeting and fighting on their chairs and I think the movie was pretty weird but I sure didn't have a clue what was going on. Anyway, a few years later, I watched it again, sober this time, and, this time around, it completely floored me. Indeed, even though 'The Crow', Alex Proyas' previous directing effort, was pretty good and had received some pretty good reviews, his follow-up feature was miles better in my opinion. Indeed, it had some great visuals and a mesmerizing story. Back then, everybody saw and talked about 'The Matrix' and most of us missed this gem. In my opinion, this movie is in fact much better than 'The Matrix' and fortunately, it has now a deserved cult following. Afterwards, Alex Proyas did get involved in some interesting projects later on in his career but, unfortunately, none of them reached the level of this movie. Anyway, to conclude, it is a great SF flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
