Tears in the Rain

The visuals are better than the original. Which is hard to come a surprise as the technique has improved so much. And there is no attempt to make a new universe. Which is good. But also adds nothing new.

The acting is decent. And I found that impressive.

The script is terrible. But I guess I would find Dick novels boring now. Back than they were terrific. In school you get the usual flat nationalistic propaganda. And cheap paperbacks were simply fresh air. Who are we? Why are we? A new dimension. Going from one to two dimensions was mind blowing. That still meant that a pencil going through the drawing paper still meant a mystical disc shaped hole growing. From the three dimensional universe, Dick is flat.

Still, this is not about Dick's novel, but about the new script. It is pointless. The viewer has to imagine all alone the anxiety of a Dick World in order to feel something about this story.

It is the script that breaks the movie.
