A bad single mother raises a selfish daughter who, to get attention, almost commits second-hand genocide and grows into a woman who almost commits genocide again.

Quite watchable. I don't know why other people didn't like it. I didn't find any particular flaws.

Nothing could possibly go wrong in an amusement park populated by robots.

A good-ish movie, which must have been spectacular at the time because of its original themes and spectacular presentation. It holds up very well over the few centuries since its release.

  • Only a single woman gets hurt; she dies off-screen.
