    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.
