I've only seen about 20% of the Outer Limits series. Some episodes are great, others just mediocre. However, "Think like a Dinosaur" stands in a league of its own. Never have I thought so much about an episode of a sci-fi series. The greatest aspect of this episode is its ability to elicit intense introspection; to imagine yourself in the protagonist's shoes and know you must make such a difficult decision. The clear, warming humanity of the "unbalanced equation" is overwhelming, which is why the choice is so painful. The ending still gives me chills. Imagine what the protagonist must be feeling when he sees her again. This episode is a brilliant depiction of morality and ethics clashing with science. I haven't yet seen the topic handled better.
Spielberg needs to stick to the ideas that were used in A.I. and Minority Report and stay away from this light, fluffy nonsense. CMIYC is watchable and has a few amusing moments, but overall I found it uninteresting and very superficial. I live in Boston and couldn't tell Hanks was trying to use a MA accent; what an awful performance. I would not recommend paying more than $6 to see this movie.
WOW. Immediately after I saw this movie, I bought another ticket for the next show and went through an entirely new experience. You absolutely have to see this movie at least two times. There are so many tiny hints and clues that you have no way of picking up on the first time through. I don't think I've ever seen a movie that made me think as hard as I did while viewing it.
Incredibly innovative and clever, Memento is one of the best movies I've seen. It did such a brilliant job of putting us right beside the main character, making us believe him because we don't know any better, yet when the movie's over you look back and come to a logical conclusion that was so vastly different from what you started out with. In a way, the viewer is deceived and manipulated and I love that. 10/10 (which I've given to only 4 other movies)
