Movie Reviews of Impostor (Director's Cut)
Movie Review: decent
Summary: 4 Stars
i enjoyed this movie, mainly because it features my favorite actor, vincent d'onofrio. true, the plot was not exceptionally original, but did anyone notice that the much better received movie minority report had a lot in common with impostor, which came out first. they both had similar big-brother governments, with a "road to hell is paved with good intentions" government agent following them. both have a tracking device installed in their body, both had underworld connections they used to slip under the radar, etc. and, strangely enough, both of the actors playing the main characters friends now have their own tv shows (Monk and Boomtown), not that that matters. i think both movies were well done, and an irritated by the unequal treatment. luckily the endings were different.Movie Review: Fugitive in the future
Summary: 4 Stars
Being a BIG fan of Philip K dick's I was naturally curious to watch this movie (also since I never heard of it) and was very surprised by how much I liked it. First of all, I have no idea when they released it in the movies but it must have been on a day when I was sick at home. Why didn't this get a bigger release? Very nice depiction of the Philip K dick world of the future. Bleak, with suspiciousness and with questions about what is real at every step of the way. Great build up and great ending. All actors did a very nice job and the scenes and sets were extremely believeable. The idea of identity (always a Dick favorite), and who we REALLY are is present throughout. For Dick fans everywhere. This is a must. The best interpretation since Blade Runner.Movie Review: Sci-fi from the master
Summary: 4 Stars
Combine 2 astounding actors in a telling of a classic short story by the master of science fiction himself Phillip K. Dick and you have amazing movie that has been overlooked and underrated by so many.
The many twists and turns will keep you guessing and the dark ruins of a planet at war with a sinister enemy paints a very bleak picture for humanity.
The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star review is there is just something missing, it's hard to put my finger on, it may be the lack of depth in the secondary characters but you will have to judge for yourself.
All in all this is an excellent movie well worth a watch.
Movie Review: this ain't no B-movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Impressed to say the least. The good: it's a great story that kept my attention to the end, the acting was above par (even for secondary roles), and good Sci-fi is so rare. The downside: use of helmets taken directly from "Starship Troopers" wardrobe, and somewhat repetitive CGI shots. Overall the CGI was impressive though and seemed to help carry and enhance the story instead of being the feature. The main thing is not to miss this movie if you enjoy good sci-fi. I had never even heard of it while it was in the theatre.Movie Review: Where did this come from??
Summary: 4 Stars
Its not up there with the quintessential PKD film adaptation Blade Runner but I'm not sure how this slipped through the cracks when compared to Minority Report, Total Recall, Paycheck or Screamers where it easily holds its own. As with all these others, the story line sets a rapid pace, is thought prevoking and concludes with surprising ending with a wonderful twist. Its not got the extravagent hi tech effects of some of the others but a good cast and story line make this less of an issue. Well worth the effort.
