Melodramatic

Rating: 3/10 (5 June 2013)

This is my first review, so pardon me if the form is not as expected.
I'm a big sci-fi fan. Read really a lot of books, seen almost everything there is.
The following is my subjective opinion, of a sci-fan fan.
This movie is not bad, but not great either. If the sci-fi elements were left out, it would be be similar to standard girlie movies, pride and prejudice and similar. It combines elements of romance, rebellion, hope and sacrifice, but not in a really new way, just trying to mix the good ingredients as the result must be good. But not really, because movies are not linear sum of ingredients.
I find the story non-convincing, both individual stories of particular time-lines, and stories of characters evolving through eras. Predictable and unconvincing at the same time. Little bit of pathetic too.
Had big expectations, but after a few weeks, the impression is pretty bleak. If you read this review, you might be pleasantly surprised after seeing the movie. I read good reviews and was disappointed.
