This movie is a delightfully futuristic view of the world of tomorrow.  The first time I watched this movie I loved it; not exactly sure why.  It might be the sci-fi genre that mixes in crazy action scenes, cut into an alien singing a techno opera while earth is spinning in all its glory in the back round.  Spaceships and people saving the the world always make a movie more interesting too. WATCH IT! I think I might go watch it right now.
