movie review - Millennium

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a 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.

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

—Anne Frank
