I "DON'T" see ----

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2009)

1. --- the 3D impact. 3D is NOT a must see.
2. --- a romance as powerful and heartfelt like the one in the "Abyss" or "Titanic." Problem? Zero chemistry between the romantic duo. Couldn't relate to either of the leads. For a stirring inter-species romance consider the one in Star Trek DS9 to understand my point.
3. --- a fleshed out villain; just another popping jay strutting around with attitude.
4. --- a story with originality, depth and emotion. Forget about "Dances with wolves," "FERNGULLY" anyone???
5. --- a plot that is suspenseful, intriguing and full of surprise. Got bored and tried to see if "Weyland Yutani" was stencilled somewhere in the background and if Paul Reiser was lurking about; alas didn't see either!
6. --- how the complexity of the huge "back office" operations and tech breakthroughs, in conceiving and creating this movie (tough hard work that, and, hats off for this), actually helped make the movie engrossing and enthralling.
Bottom line? What did I see? The tepid romance, the weak story and thin characterization had no place to hide, THAT I did see.
