Extremely drawn out, boring film, that could've made its point in 20 minutes. The only scenes it was somewhat more interesting to look at the screen, rather than light from the projector reflecting on the theater's ceiling, or even sleeping through parts of it, were in the '70s and '80s night clubs.
One has got to have a certain talent, to make broadly interesting science fiction concepts this excruciatingly dull. Worst movie I've seen in years.
