"His approach to filmmaking is highly individualistic,
though much of his individual style is an adaptation to the

gimmick, but it is one that works reasonably well and perhaps even
works to rivet the viewer's attention."

"One of the best science fiction film ever made. This remains true in spite of a rather superficial treatment of the some of the science fiction elements. It is very much a 2001 with the slowish parts replaced by a good fast-paced adventure film."
