    ★★★

    This was a popcorn-worthy mashup genre sci-fi action romance.  I was overall entertained most of the time.  I enjoyed the first half more during the “rear window” romance between the lead characters.  The latter half is where the action is most concentrated and began to feel like watching a first person monster shooter video game, but they delivered on lots of action as promised.  
    It kept us awake and moved along for the two hours, but was soon forgotten after it was over.

    Very impressed by this movie- especially the performances of Brendon Fraser and Hong Chau.   It carries some emotional punch at the end.
    A funny aside- I commented to my wife just after viewing that it could easily be converted to a theatrical production as it was all shot from a single apartment.  Then I read on IMDb that the movie already was based on a play.  😀

    I haven’t watched this since my college days and thought it would be worth a revisit with my son.   The concept album is of course a beloved classic, but I thought the movie was somewhat repetitive and reminiscent of an extended music video made to fit the music.  Often visuals were reused and repeated.  The animation was unique and gave it a stylistic, darker mood, though the images could be confusing as to what they were trying to depict…
