Andromedia
Time Out says
Japanese director Takashi Miike has populated his hyperkinetic movies with many
unnerving set pieces, but few Miike-manned moments are as disturbing as
Andromedia's centerpiece, in which four young men emerge from an
exploding car...only to break into a choreographed song-and-dance routine à la
the Backstreet Boys. Designed as a vehicle for J-pop bands Speed and Da Pump,
the film has a workmanlike innocuousness that seems conspicuously different from
anything the director has done before or since. As the film's techno intrigue
quickly degenerates into cyberhooey, it's hard to imagine anyone but completists
getting their pulses pounding over this tangential detour.
