Why so much hype?

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

I rented this movie on video cassette i found this movie so boring that i started be be an aggressive man and i wanted to break my TV set apart. finally i couldn't leave things like that so i re-rent the movie and at that time i had a VCR that was able to do video and audio dubbing , for people who saw this movie they know that there were some flash video in this movies that reflect the mind of the guy talking i video dub every flashes with really hard action XXX movies snapshot and my action did a better movie and i sent back the movie to rent store maybe the reason of the good review of some people of that movie is because they have seen my version :)))) sorry for my bad English i'm french speaking

I rented this movie thinking I may have missed it at the box office years ago. The cover looked very interesting which led me to believe that the movie would cover new ground for science fiction fans. I was hoping for material to be creative, with a very understanding script. And, recognizing a few name actors, led me to believe that this film may be good to watch. Sadly to say, the movie just put me to sleep. The people behind this project must have not have any experience in motion picture production. Or, the people producing this film may have been in the mood to make a movie for themselves to enjoy? No entertainment value!

Maybe I'm a masochist but I felt compelled to post a comment on this movie as 10 years on it's still one of the five worst movies I've ever been mad enough to watch all the way through. It has an interesting premise but this is totally wasted by a very confusing script. Messrs Sikking & Elizondo are talented actors but even they can't save this one. The only remotely interesting point is the bizarre moment when Hector Elizondo's character impersonates someone having a grand mal seizure - I'm no expert & I don't wish to belittle epilepsy but it seemed extraordinarily well done. This aside, I'd have to say - don't get suckered in by the video cover like I was - it just ain't worth it.

This movie was so strange, so very hard to follow, and made practically no sense at all, until the very end. The premise was actually unique, but it took so long to get to it, though two hours of fairly boring dialogue and scattered flashes of scattered scenes. I wondered why I had never heard of this movie. I am surprised that either Sikking or Elizondo would have been involved in this picture, but then again, like many pictures, the script might have looked good, and the fault is in the final editing production. Miss this one if you haven't seen it. It would have been a much better book.
