I hadn't seen this in over 20 years, but although the overall mid-apocalyptic vibe stuck with me all that time, what I had forgotten is that this might be the first (or at least my first) movie to really try to describe an intrinsic unease, this vague, almost inarticulable yuckyness -- not with the internet or its (now) very evident ability to disconnect us psychically or physically (which is clearly what's going on here) -- but with digital imagery itself.
