I really love a good sci-fi flick because and the best of them are few and far between.
This movie has (had) so much potential and is a sweet idea, there was just some kind of flash missing that caused it to come off dark and cold.
I've seen it twice now and remember from the first viewing liking it, but have solidified it after a second--how it might have come off better with something like a Spielberg flair. This isn't to say that his more recent works aren't simply trying to go after the widest Hollywood audience. Some are really great (like the most recent "Minority Report"), but this still came off cold and on the dull side even with solid acting performances and a good story. The concept is very cool.
Still, I cannot put my finger on the life that is missing that would have made this a great flick.
