not a great film . but then it do not deserve the relentless criticism . it be just clumsy and fail to really run anywhere . it be somewhat an allegorical film in the way some religiously derive film intend to be . the short coming in the plot be not that important and really no different to moses open up the red sea ( hey . in that ten commandment they couldn not have escape the way they do ) . the psychlos be an abstract factor which we often refer to in our society a the infamous big brother or international corporation run wild . the human character have to appear a they do so we can relate to them ( no point in see futuristic caveman ) . the psychlos be ultimately back stab and self indulgent with little interest in human ideal such a common goal and even trust . an underlying philosophy be that of control ( leverage ) and one element of the writing that this be derive from . what happen be the human eventually bond together and compete ( fight back against the bad guy ) to achieve a common future with benefit for all mankind ( or whats leave of it ) . but they also use nuclear weapon ( an apparent evil ) and be ultimately protect by radioactivity and then gold ( the basis of our monetarist way ) . element of our current society that be so often criticise by those on the outside . after see this for the second time all ( most ) the way through i be begin to warm to it . yes it poor but it also have some symbolism and be not that much bad than many other film i have see .
