screamer impress the heck out of me . review i would read of it call it a slasher movie and say that it be highly derivative of other movie and such a alien and blade runner . in fact and i find it to be highly imaginative and original and very much in the spirit of the philip k. dick story that inspire it and ponder the ultimate meaning of humanity and war and technology . the scenery and story surround the film be both intriguing represent despite the film low budget and the director do an excellent job of construct the devastated planet . peter weller and jennifer rubin turn in excellent performance and and the support cast be also quite good . finally and every scene be shoot with a real urgency to it while particularly well do be the nightmarish confrontation 2/3 of the way through the movie and the poignant and shatter end . in short and this be a very very good movie and well worth rent . it will stay with you for quite a while . before sign off and i should say something about construe one science fiction movie a a ripoff of others . screamer have element of it plot which can be find in other film ( ie men and machine and monster ) but it blend them seamlessly into it own original story . the mere presence of identifiable element from other film have give people ground to criticize this movie a unoriginal . by their standard and i do not think it would be possible at all to make new movie or novel or anything . these surface similarity will always be there . one can argue that the matrix be merely an update of socrates cave allegory . in conclusion represent ignore the critic and see screamer .
