Very pleasantly surprised!

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2009)

Just left the theater. I'm really on a post-great-apocalyptic-movie high right now. I mean, like Bruce Willis in Armageddon type of high. This movie was awesome.
Maybe I was easily pleased because all the negative reviews here (and dismal 6.2 rating) got my hopes down. That may have helped. But this movie had all the big effects and action you hope for and expect.
Also, kudos to the producers and advertising team for not ruining every twist of the movie. Sure, the ads showed a fair bit of the action, but not everything. There were cameos, good one-liners, action shots and pay-off shots all *not* revealed in trailers. Good stuff.
When our viewing ended, the audience applauded the movie. We were pleased. 9 stars from me.
