4/5

Interesting, smart setup part of the story that only leads to ridiculous climax. I felt cheated by Cameron. Why start a good script, if you can't finish it the same?

Apocalyptic science fiction, counting down the final days and hours and minutes to the turn of the millennium (a/k/a 2K). Bassett is a strong presence in a supporting role, but she can't hold her ground against the eye-fatiguing, ear-pounding, brain-damaging assaults of Bigelow, much less against the baton blows of the LAPD in the crass finale.

As the title suggests, it is a strange film, but one that is well-made. It is suitably thought-provoking and features a solid performance from Ralph Fiennes. It can be enjoyed simply as an action film, but it can also be appreciated on a deeper level.

pretty good movie, just a few things: should have placed it in 2099 and not 1999 and should have stopped 5mins earlier than they did, that cheesy end cost a lot of points

Very cool and interesting sci-fi film. Has its issues, Juliette Lewis is not very convincing and the third act is incredibly drawn out, but still worth watching. Recommended.

This film hits a lot of 90's action-y clichés, but you kinda gotta forgive that. Because in-between them all are fun characters, surprisingly good cinematography, and a great performance by Fiennes. It's definitely got a gimmick, but it realizes it fully and effectively without allowing it to unfold tritely. The degenerating city was also a really well-done backdrop.

I enjoyed probably 70-75% of this movie. Cool story but some lame writing and some poor directing hold this back from being really great. The city is incredible. The last 5 minutes needed to be cut out though.

Wonderfully surrealistic.
