Saw about 1/2 of this again on TV the other night. I have to say the overall effect is just god awful. The over the top characters, acting, writing, rock music, sting (I mean WTF Sting !?!). However at the same time the atmosphere in this movies is just brilliant. As far as dark, dreary, gritty, hopeless atmospheres go this is right up there with Blade Runner. Even the parts it gets wrong in this aspect it sort of still gets right like the silly over the top wardrobes, and comical looking spaceships. Gotta love those David Lynch touches. Somehow it all still works atmospherically but fails as a movie. What are you're thoughts on the film?
PS: I have to add I've never read the books. I'll have to give the original book a try sometime but I have the sneaking suspicion it's not my cup of tea.
