More comedy than drama

Rating: 5/10 (3 February 2011)

I second my fellow reviewers who stated that this movie probably has more comedy-qualities than it contains true drama. I am surely not going to comment on plausibility or scientific accuracy, I absolutely give it strong points for the special effects (which was, after I read and heard a number of reviews before actually seeing the strip, about the only thing I expected then). I was surprised, however, of the actual comedic potential some of the scenes carry along, there were some really good moments of situational humor and a number of funny quotes. Even if you take parts of the background story serious, you just can't deny that you can't do that with this film.
