The Thirteenth Floor (1999)
Grade A film
As stated before, this is an under rated sci-fi film that should be seen by any fan of the genre. This movie came out around the same time as the Matrix and Dark City and contains some of the same elements of those films. As in those other films the nature of reality is a key plot point as is the existence of self, which helps to make this slightly different from the aforementioned films in depth of plot. Don't let the fact that other movies of this type have been made before, this is a good movie. Besides, most films have something in common with other films there are only like six main genres in film anyway. Go ahead and rent this movie you won't be disappointed, heck just go out and purchase this movie you'll be sure to watch this more than once.
Earth 2 (1994)
Earth 2 was a great show
I watched this show from the moment it first premiered back in 1994, and I loved it. The concept was fresh and thought provoking. Sure it had a few flaws at first; however, the acting was spot-on and the premise was intelligent and intriguing: humans have raped the planet to the point of near inhabitability, are living in artificial environments upon space stations, and are now traversing the known Universe searching for a planet to call home. Earth2 was wrought with characters who make mistakes and often act out of self interest and scheming government imperialists who seek to control this new world at any cost. This show had so much to offer. I miss it and I am so glad this series is out on DVD, despite the fact that we got no closure. It seems to be the plight of the truly intelligent sci-fi shows to be canceled for no apparent reason; perhaps people cannot handle shows like Earth 2 (and Firefly-for anyone who has seen it) in which humanity must suffer displacement as a result of the abuse they visited upon the Earth.
