GO RENT THIS MOVIE!

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and it's terrible that it's not more well known. The scene where Levitch is looking at the plants is the equal of the helicopter attack in apocalypse now, as far as I'm concerned. This being said, I know of few other people that like the film. It's somewhat of a mystery to me why so many people that have seen it find the guy annoying or pretentious. Maybe all those apocalyptic 70's movies (dawn of the dead, zardoz, planet of the apes, logan's run, etc. etc.) have convinced North American audiences that everyone who's trying to tell them something is full of *beep* or hot air. It's like everyone's woken up from a night of drinking with memories of painfully earnest conversations ringing in their ears, and everyone's really embarrased.
