December 6, 2006Walken is great and Natalie Wood is quite good in her last film role. This one is a so-so sci-fi/drama with some interesting touches.

It is a character driven story, about characters dealing with an immensly powerful technology that could very literally be the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end for human civilization as they, the characters, know it. A powerful, and immensly underated, film.
