The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I recently caught this and was laughing most of the way through at the silly script, loopy synth music, crass lighting and very naff fashions, but it also amazed and shocked me, when I looked it up online and discovered it wasn't made in 1983!Worth a look for the model work and special effects, and if you enjoy the so-bad-it's-good genre of sci-fi movie.

To quickly describe this I would call it some strange b-grade horror movie, the ones that I find funnier than scarier. As I always say about horror movies, is that what I find scary are things that could really happen, and I find them more disturbing than scary. Movies like Misery, the Net, and even Very Bad Things, are more horrifying than this. Even though what happened in this movie is theoretically possible, it does not leave the images that a movie like Very Bad Things does.This movie is about a futuristic building that is run and protected by a very sophisticated computer. The problem is that the computer is so rigid that is there is one thing wrong then it construes it as its programs would do. If you park in the wrong place, or don't look after your keycard, then the computer will construe you as an intruder.This movie seems to have been created by a cookie cutter. It has a nasty unbeatable opponent, a pretty girl, a daring man, and people dying horrible deaths. Other than that the only real moral of this movie is that you shouldn't rely on computers because they can be unpredictable in the most predictable ways. It was an okay movie, but really doesn't do all that much.

I saw another version of this movie about 8 years before this one was released. There was a computer named Lola that was absorbing human energy and trapped a bunch of people inside a building. The newer version 1994 differed greatly from the original but the same theme was used. I like movies where computers take over some of my favorites are Demon Seed and Colusus the Forbin Project. I think one day computers will be smarter than humans possibly in our lifetime. I mean in my fathers day going to the moon was science fiction but today its an every day occurrence, these movies show the dangers of science and technologies continual progress and are to be noted.

You should wait nothing deep from this movie, and nothing is what it delivers. There are times though where you're looking for just a pass-time and it's quite good at this. In fact I found it rather pleasant, as the directing is adequate and the acting not too pompous. The main idea could produce a very good thriller, but as another reviewer noted Stanley Kubrick has already taken care of this.
