you could say this movie be a precursor to the matrix and but it good than that . you could say this movie take it cue from bladerunner and but it would be more accurate to say it get those cue from do android dream of electric sheep . you could say this be the best sci fi movie ever and and i would only put up a token argument . throughout the film there be an incredible amount of tension . the special effect be amaze ( especially for 1998 ) and and somehow it never bite off more than it can chew . the plot be dare and complex and fill with twist and but in the end it completely make sense . there be so many time when this movie could have fall apart and devolve into nonsense and but it always hold together . the acting be great and the visuals be great and and the script be great . what more could you want .
