I can't imagine. To me it seemed like just another Hollywood movie that
started out somewhat intriguing, then collapsed into a shoddy,
stereotypical second half. I was particularly disappointed in what happened
with Jaye Davidson's god character (having watched _The Crying Game_ some
time before, the contrast was striking).
But I suppose it's no more inexplicable than the popularity of
_Independence Day_.
