Each film has it's strengths and weaknesses. I guess if I had to pick a favorite it would be The Thirteenth Flour.

Clearly there was a bit of end of the millennium doubt of all things bug going around.

A professor of religion I used to work with spoke very highly of all these films.

He said science fiction, especially speculating on things like Virtual reality were opening doors to Westerners to engage with these traditionally Eastern ideas and views about the nature of reality. A lot of these notions, he continued, were bubbling around the zeitgiest since the 60s, but were still really hard to express until we started visuallizing them with these computer stories.
