certainly not worth the price of release

Rating: 4/10 (31 May 2010)

I find myself agreeing with iamthegreenfairy (earlier review)about some aspects of the film, even more so. Certainly wouldn't pay money to see this one (didn't seen Titanic until it came on TV, and still didn't watch it all). However, a friend had the DVD and we watched it.
Some intro aspects were good (as a disabled Vet, I could identify with the beginning scene and VA hospital flash-backs), but there was a lack of completeness - especially for $500M (you have to be kidding?).
I could not bring myself to watch even clips of the movie after it was over. It simply wasn't worth it. So I'm "hardcore" and don't see the 3D version, fine.
I like many kinds of films and have a library of over 500 DVD's, but this one I would not buy. It simply didn't captivate me. The last Star Trek movie was wonderful, although wrong in many aspects (I know, new time-line), but still I watched the whole film at least 5-6 times and have the DVD.
Maybe this is one for the masses and I lead a sheltered life, but more than 5 stars it simply isn't worth.
Star Wars (1977) was outstanding and I remember seeing it for the first time (I have this DVD too). Yet the only comparison is outer space, aside from that there's nothing.
Ciao,
