Absolutely the best sci-fi ever

Although the male protagonist is ugly, the female protagonist is not beautiful. But the ghosts of the villains are well dressed. After watching it, I always feel that the prototype of Harry Potter's Voldemort is borrowed from this movie?

An old movie from 1998. But today it seems that the sci-fi effect of the film is not inferior to the current blockbuster at all. The special effects are very well done! Black is the most common tone in the film, so it was very depressing to watch at first, and it is best to feel comfortable when the blue sky and blue sea appeared in a few minutes.

The highlight of this film is that ghosts can control everything with their minds. They let what they want to appear. They gather together every night to control the city with their minds, killing or creating human beings at will. Human beings are like toys in their eyes. I think it's a great idea, and the film's performance is very good, it's very emotional, and it doesn't feel deliberate at all. For example, a door appears on the wall and then disappears, such as the continuous lengthening of the stairs, such as a high-rise building that grows like a mushroom...

    Science fiction suspense CULT film. It's also dystopian. The world view is very similar to "The Matrix" and some settings are not inferior to it. But the narrative style is weird and obscure, and it lacks depth. I don't know what to say at the beginning, and the worldview is explained clearly only halfway through the movie. Let the audience know what the story is. So this is a failure. However, it is still a unique sci-fi film. Jennifer Connelly is so beautiful.

    A good combination of film noir, sci-fi, ultimate philosophy, ideation, German expressionism (Dr. Caligari's Cabin). Many places have the same spirit as the Thirteen Degrees and The Matrix, and there is a sense of panic that the end of the Jubilee Judgment is coming at the end of the 20th century. The flustered party should also refer to this film on the back design. There is a part in Da Liu's Book of Songs that is very similar to the setting of the film.
