No Space Odyssey comparison

Rating: 6/10 (31 October 2012)

This will be short. No story coverage. I made a mistake reading critic reviews prior to screening. I expected to be blown away, awed, mystified, and highly motivated into interesting discussion. I felt betrayed by the comparison with "2001: A Space Odyssey" which left me not only in the emotions above, but an almost spiritual state (I must have seen it 30 times since 1968.) Not this time.
The film is very good from a technical points, but I've lost interest in CGI about 12 years ago. The makeup, acting, images are very good. And I will see it again, since I must wear not only hearing aids but the theater headphones to get a smidgen of recognizable verbiage. (I'm waiting for closed caption above the screen like you find at the opera.)
I do recommend this film for others. Well done.
