Wow! What a movie!

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2000)

What a treat it is to watch this. For starters, it has a massive amount of character development, which is odd for this genre. I've actually read about people saying this movie forgot about characters and simply went for action. What are you on about. The first hour of the movie is almost pure character development. It's also got some of the best action sequences I've ever seen. Being a massive fan of sci-fi, it's great fun to watch space shuttles mauevering around, dodging debris. Its hunour element is great, actually making some application to genuine wit instead of stupid throw-away one-liners.
Seriously, this movie nearly made me cry. Bruce Willis is such a good actor, you can't help but give in to the sadness of the end. It's all a result of the afore-mentioned character development. Trevor Rabins surprisingly emotional score also helps with the emotional quality of this movie. In one word, this movie is HEROIC. Everything about it is about being a hero. So see it, if you haven't already. It's not the most realistic movie of all time, It's no 'Saving Private Ryan', but it is a great movie(What else would you expect from Michael Bay and Jerry Brucheimer). 9/10
