This is a good movie with a great story. I enjoyed it from start to end. The scanning is something out of this world and done in a creepy good way. The head explosion was great along with the last moments of the movie.

This is such a great film! David Cronenberg is such a genius when he came up with that full on head explosion scene. It is just awesome!

awesome story, very original. it gets pretty boring there for a while, but the ending is cool. and that head explosion is outrageous! :DDDD

Great effects! Love the old school effects. Can't get enough; especially when they're done as amazingly as this.

That being said, the movie is pretty good. Nothing too fantastic, but it's fun and watchable. A bit boring here and there and the main character is most definitely not the best actor in the world. Luckily, Michael Ironside as Revok IS. Well, not really but he surely helps to balance things out. Plus, he's bad ass.

I watched this the other day after finding a copy in the oh so wonderful Wal-Mart bargin bins! What fun. Anyway Mr. Cronenberg really offers interesting visuals and a unique story. Gotta love the make-up effects too! But with all of this, there was something missing in the film. Some of the acting was stale and cheesy.

Yeah! Another great Cronenberg film. Head exploding and all that.... But really, a good movie, exploding heads or no. :P

this is another excellent film by the great david cronenberg. i went in to this expecting to see a dumb movie with alot of exploding heads and no real plot. but this is before i really knew who cronenberg was. what it actually is is a great science fiction/horror film that makes you think. and as for the whole exploding head business goes, its only one scene in the beginning. great scene though. micheal ironside makes a great villain.
