The best movie I have ever seen - incredible story, acting, and a true example of expressionist filmmaking
Rak

this, along with a whole host of cyberpunk & Sci fi, looked at the philosophy of our existence. Great to get the grey matter ticking

Terrific psychological sci-fi idea and execution. We were late and crashed blindly into half the cinema finding a seat in pitch black dark.

Good proto-Matrix movie. I was pleasantly surprised

For the most part, some Gonzo talent on display here, but other times feels like City of Lost Children as made by college film bros.

Excellent dystopian sci-fi movie, great sci-fi story ahead of its time with superb production design. Dark and entertaining, worth watching

A highly intriguing noir film that makes a good companion piece to the similar Matrix film. Watch the Director’s Cut though.

By 2017, the global economy has collapsed and U.S. society has become a totalitarian police state, censoring all cultural activity.
