movie review - Millennium

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.07.21

Absolutely the lamest sci-fi I've seen in some time. Everything from the unexplored politics and theology to the dismal depictions of future was undercooked. From the amazing and unexplained prescience of a robot character on whose advice the main character bases her decisions technology, to the surprising stupidity of the future human scientists glares like a bad dream.

This is the usual CRAP which passes for the SCI in science fiction. It blends sex, hairdos, and has-been actors in quite a disappointing way. When this first came out, I almost went to see it; don't make the mistake of seeing this - I watched it while working on a design project which demanded most of my attention.

Not recommended.
