Rafi M @RT61647557 Sep 13, 2026 The best rendering, so far, of the amazing Ursula Le Guin story, and of dreams as movie material. Entertaining sci-fi, that's good, but with a bigger budget could be so much more. See more Feb 20, 2014 ok made for TV sci-fi pic See more Dec 20, 2012 This movie is weird, surreal and at times a little disorienting. It was good to see Lukas Haas in a film again, though. See more Jun 18, 2011 This movie was interesting. I enjoyed it. Lisa and Lukas are great to see on screen. I LOVE the jelly fish shots that are hypnotic. I bet the book was very interesting. ITs so weird to see Lukas Haas grown up but I like it. See more Feb 2, 2011 A perfect example of a movie whose reach exceeded its grasp, this brilliant science fiction story is at times trivialized by its mounting; the shoestring budget is obvious at every turn, and beyond the central plot, concepts introduced are rarely fleshed out, leaving the audience with a very unsatisfactory and bland ending. You're better off reading the book. See more Jan 13, 2010 As far as I'm concerned, this wasn't a bad movie at all. Kind of weird. The irony was nice, but some of the transition in the story was kinda sketchy. Worth a watch if you're into sci-fi. See more Read all reviews
