*Yawn*

Joy.

This is an issue worldwide.

It should be pointed out that the "Bandi" episode is also remarkably similar to Philip K. Dick's "Beyond Lies the Wub" as well as elements from a couple of his other short stories.

Still have a couple of copies of these paintings that were handed out prior to the release of the film at industry gatherings as pamphlets to build anticipation.

Hmm...

See Robert Heinlein's story from 1950, "The Man Who Sold the Moon" for some serious and humorous ruminations on this very topic.

It is most assuredly the way it was pitched, so I see no issue in such comparisons.

So "Gattaca" meets "Logan's Run"?

Critics not only seem to agree with the banner, but would seem to add that it isn't big on 'quality', either...

Sure, because all that fancy firepower has managed to take out enemy combatants so quickly and easily in places like Afghanistan and Iraq...

I can't say enough how much I enjoy the iPad app "Tesseract" which is a nifty representation of the concept as a sort of puzzle box.

LOL

The more I see, the more absolutely dreadful this thing looks.

Nobody seems to know whose idea it was to add sound, and BAD sound at that...

Congratulations to Kevin Lane, who did the animation for this wonderful piece.

I must agree with Ebert on this - the designs of the robots are so convoluted and unclean that they have a tendency to blend with the backgrounds, making the action even more difficult to follow than it already is.

Yes, precisely - this has absolutely nothing to do with Blade Runner in any regard whatsoever.

James Morrow, "This Is the Way the World Ends".

Yet his films are filled with humor, albeit of the dark variety.
