It got called โstunningโ and the โBest Sci-Fi Film in Yearsโ that โranks among great philosophical sci-fiโ! And though there were many differences from the book, it sounded almost as batshitcrazybrilliant as the book!! Which means there are now two equally haunting versions of this story for me to wonder WTF happened. I might not have all the answers, but Iโve certainly enjoyed replaying scenes in my mind and pondering the possibilities. And I suspect thatโs...
