"There never was a Shell Beach. The only place you were that boy... Is in your own head."

@ROYALPRIMUS I entirely agree. This is perhaps a rather obvious expansion of your point of view, but the Matrix sought to glamourize the potential for expanded violence, but this film cut much closer to the sentiment of our heart and soul in a way that machine guns and " I know Kung Fu" never could in the face of a tyrannical occupation of human life.

Dark City and 13th Floor are the greatest sci-fi movies of the 90s IMO. They give you emotional experience while telling an incredible story and also look good in visual. It looks like, that the audience is just not supporting these films that much than the high budget action flicks.

Really great film. Rufus Sewell, Jennifer Connelly, Kiefer Sutherland, William Hurt were great. The 90's had so many overlooked & underrated SCI-FI films - this one, FutureSport, The Time Shifters, Virtuosity, Tha Lawnmower Man, Alien 3, Space Truckers, Strange Days, The Arrival, Mimic, The Apocalypse (1997), Virus, RoboCop 2, Them, Body Snatchers, eXistenZ, Sphere, Judge Dredd, Demolition Man, Anaconda, The Shadow Men etc

Incredibly spoily. Methinks this should not have been uploaded, for the risk of ruining an excellent film for the many who've never seen it.

John: Allow me?
Anna: Oh, Thank you (as she hands over the luggage.)

I love the ending. How the world was to the new world it has become now was simply magnificent!
To have sat through the movie in such gloom & darkness in a clustered city finally see light & living color and open sea. "Im not talking about some distant childhood memory, Im talking about yesterday or last week. When have you ever seen the sun?"
You really feel like you are in John's shoes when he opened the door and be overwhelmed by such beautiful light. A perfect build up to a perfect ending.

man vs man, man vs animal, or man vs the world... they are all common themes in storytelling. and well now, man vs food.

the matrix doesnt compare to this. This movie really touches the subject of what makes us human,and that is the heart/soul, not the body
