Quick — name a motion characterize based on a short sage by Philip K. Dick and starring a tough guy who played a killer cyborg in a previous hit movie.
If you guessed _Total Recall_, you’re lawful, but it’s not the one I had in mind.
This one is nothing like _Total Recall_ (which was an marvelous movie but wandered far — or did it? judge twice — from Dick’s ‘We Can Remember It For You Wholesale’) . The myth here is straightforward and doesn’t involve any questioning of the nature of reality — though it does, at least obliquely, quiz the nature of the relationship between humans and machines.

Peter Weller (_Robocop_) is the gigantic cahuna here, and he does an respectable job as the peevish, taciturn, tough-as-nails, fair barely likeable ‘hero’ of the share. The situation: there’s some sort of corporate war on, and there’s a mining colony, and there’s some disinformation, and there’s a possibility none of the dazzling folks that work the mines will ever win home again. (The film is based loosely on Dick’s ‘Second Variety’ but doesn’t follow it in detail at all; for one thing, the record was position on Earth.)
And there are the Screamers.
I can’t philosophize you remarkable about them without spoiling the movie for you. I guess I can let you know that they are machines and that they are evolving. Beyond that . . . well, look and explore.

This is a gritty, taut movie, and it’s mostly well executed. The cast do a magnificent job — especially Roy Dupuis but also that kid who faded to rollerblade around on _Caroline In The City_. Some of the tension is artificial but the region keeps on developing to the very last moment of the film.
It’s not stout, but it’s superb. And in its intention it’s a faithful adaptation of the spirit of Dick’s epic, despite its major liberties with the details. That spirit has to do with the evolution of machines to the point that they’re willing and able to demolish one another, honest like _real_ humans do. In that respect, the film is dismal, pessimistic, and ‘Dickian’, and it bears up well under repeated viewings.
Several reviewers have been a bit brutal to this film, and I insist they have a proper to be. They are entitled to their opinions. As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed the film. Unapologetically, no excuses, no reservations. 5 stars.
