   and Ford puts in an exceptional performance.  It's just, I don't know the   
   ending; bubble girl is

   I liked it.  It was a modern take on the noir films in a SF setting,   
   which made a "yesterday's tomorrow" kind of story.  The visuals were   
   important to the mood and understanding the characters' motivations.  It   
   definitely deserves better than a 3.6 rating in my opinion.
