When the reviews came in, I only saw the scores, and thought "fuck it"... But then I watched it (bitter sweet circumstance. YAM STILL LOCKED IN AS I WRITE THIS. FOR THE SAKE OF FLUCK*)... It's remarkably heavy on symbolism, and for that, it's a very adult film. So there's little wonder why it did not review as an "instant classic". As a result of the prominence (or indeed, the opposite) of the picture's semiotic quality, it's quite possibly the only modern film that I will watch again from start to finish, even after viewing it so recently. I've never been inclined to do that before... Quite frankly (perhaps a little conceitedly) because I'd never felt the need to do so. But this film is very different. Sure... There's some cheddar / pandering in there (did they really need to cast Charlize Theron? I'm not complaining though. She has never looked better on screen... And that's really saying something), but the core story is solid. And the cinematography is brilliant. People saying there's not enough to the story... Fuck off. Good stories should float questions... * I've just been freed! Yay!!!Kow wrote:That's a pretty low least...

He was infected with space AIDS from the black stuff, so froze himself in the hope that he will be cured by whoever found him. Maybe. I haven't just had an epiphany by the way, I watched it again recently and noticed that he had the black AIDS spreading on his Chevy Chase while he was fighting the squid thing. I quite fancy the Bluray with all the extra scenes and what not now. I feel like Ridders is playing me.
