      Taking notes as I watch it.

      • Practical effects
      • Physical locations, sets, matte paintings
      • Lighting was cool. Lasers and stuff. I could also see stuff in it unlike every horror movie made in the last 8 years.
      • Green screen looked fake and shitty.
      • Peter Weller was in it. He played Robocop. I like Robocop.
      • Foley ( sound )
      • Foley ( no Dave Foley )
      • Music is okay
      • Released in 1995. This movie didn’t stand a chance. Just look at the movies that came out that year. I bet I saw 50 movies that came out that year and never saw a single trailer for this one. I could easily name 30 movies that are better than this one from that year. Of all of the movies made in 1995 this is one of them.
      • Cool sunglasses
      • Some cool camera angles
      • Corny dialogue
      • Stop motion animation
      • Stunts ( this was singular until very late in the movie )
      • I ate too much pizza
      • Fire and splosions
      • The story
      • The dialogue
      • CGI looks like PS2 graphics
      • No bloopers at the end

      I now think less of Phillip K. Dick and that’s maybe not fair but here we are.

      Downloading it now. I’ll watch it in about an hour and if I make it though the movie I’ll let you know. I like shitty movies though so my opinion might not be worth much.

      Edit: Just started. The credits show it’s based on a Philip K. Dick short story called “Second Variety”. This is gonna rule!
