Editorial Reviews
"...Richly imagined....Slick and visually dazzling..."
Sight and Sound - p.39 - Kim Newman

"...A knockout vision of a machine-run cityscape..."
Entertainment Weekly - p.76 - Steve Daly

"...[With] a Disney-bashing level of detail, prolonged musings about the human soul and an eye-saucering hard line in action..."
Total Film - Ceri Thomas (12/01/2003)

"Sublimely realised, intellectual ponderous, cheesy fun."
Uncut - Kevin Maher (12/01/2003)
