frogsy999's rating
A heaping ladle of the protagonist & his squeeze being chased around by all the dangerous people shooting guns at them - from trains, cars, motorcycles, and so on. One long, intensely boring and repetitive car chase that makes you question the meaning of your existence (if you were born to watch this, maybe better to shoot yourself).
When is Uma going to stop doing love movies? So you were ugly in high school. Lots of us were. Get over it already. You have a brain. You have no excuse.
I really doubt if the Dick story had long car chases in it. It is like a huge, bland casserole sprinkled only a tiny bit with Dick's tasty ideas. So, if you are addicted to those ideas, you have to swallow the whole greasy mess and be sick for a few days.

Thanks to the storytelling capabilities and high education and literacy of the Jews, we are privileged to be repeatedly beaten over the head for decades with the simple message: "the worst things in history happened to us". Sometimes the richness and human depth and insight of a production redeems a film of this type. But there is no subtlety here. If you feel you have, up until now, had too good a life, and you want to be clubbed on the noggin yet again, watch this movie. There is no subtlety here, nor any hope of intelligent or philosophical discourse.
I give it a 4 because the alternative-history settings are somewhat interesting, and rare to find such approaches in the literature.

I can't believe this movie got only a 5.9 on IMDb. If you are someone who thinks, and if you like science fiction, this is a gem. It brings totally new angles to bear on cutting edge social issues; and if you think about what has been presented, you cannot find any flaw in the logic of it, even in the small points. In fact, one leaves the movie fearing that such a world is just around the corner and may be unavoidable. The acting is good and there are no lagging moments; every scene drives the plot. An excellent, deeply satisfying movie worth watching more than once.
Unfortunately I am driven to believe that the reason the rating on IMDb is not higher, is simply that the movie is in Spanish, and north American audiences just are not sharp enough to get it. Perhaps an IMDb rating over 6 is impossible without any car chases or sex crimes.
