Not Spetacular, not bad....

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2007)

I watched this film with the greatest of expectations and good intentions, for what has always been said to me about it, but I disappointed myself.
The photograph, art direction, special effects and all the technical aspects are good, but what it makes a good film is the script, the plot, the history...
Nor as an action film this piece succeeds, the action scenes, mainly the last one, are slow, without rhythm or movement.
Perhaps the characters had been little and badly developed, the director wanted to give a mystery air, but what he obtained was to leave a mount of doubts, not as Kubrick made with "2001", but of another way, clearly due to the lack of substance in the script.
The movie also approaches scientific concepts in a superficial way.
A critics voting has been made a few years ago, choosing this the best science-fiction film of all times, a violation to our intelligence! Just 10min of "2001" it explores more concepts than the 2h of this film.
Concluding, a regular movie, a 6 grade, nor as spectacular as some people say, but also isn't bad, only boring in some parts.
