This is an unusual and strikingly unique science-fiction/adventure movie that’s also shockingly difficult to see in its original version. Many years in the future, long after the convergence (a time when nature sought vindication against mankind), an android named Byron attempts to make his way to a robotic Shangri-la, a place where he can exist among his own kind in peace. He is wanted for murder and the two trackers that are hunting him down will stop at nothing to find Byron and bring him in. Paxton is a scavenger who steals the android in hopes of claiming a huge reward. The trouble is that this lonely drifter and this fabricated man form a friendship that neither fully understands; it’ll bring them both more humanity than either thought possible. Excellent cinematography and Blade Runner-esque themes are throughout. You’ll also find cameo appearances from Robbie Coltrane, Ben Kingsley and F. Murray Abraham, among others. Although released often and with lots of different listed running times (inaccurate and always fullscreen besides) this movie has never been treated fairly. Now you can enjoy it as intended at last! Completely uncut with all the missing minutes and in the widescreen format! Be very aware that most prints are very cut!
