All who dare to cross her course are swallowed by her fearsome force!

I STILL don't see what makes this such a brilliant piece of satire.

Wow, I can't believe that people completely missed how hilariously Orwellian this entire movie is. It all but hits you over the head with it.

For me, I laughed but also felt uneasy by how commonplace the total lack of privacy was for the characters. They didn't even notice that they were spied on 24/7, or if they did notice, they didn't care. It just seemed so natural to them. Creepy.

Oh, and just because Michael Ironside is in this film, I give it 4.5/5.
