Edge-of-your-seat entertainment ...

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2008)

Beyond being a sci-fi movie, I had no idea what this movie was about. Well, after a lengthy character buildup (which was pretty good), the sci-fi, action and thrills kicked in. It was great - suspense and mystery all the way through. It's been a while since I've gasped at stuff on-screen, so I consider this a job well done.
The movie starts with a lengthy party where we get introduced to the main characters and get a bit of their personalities and background. Everything is interrupted when a disaster seems to be occurring in the city's center. Unfortunately, the love interest of one of main characters is located there - and he, along with a few others, set out to reach her.
I'm being purposefully vague because the less you know about this movie, the more you'll enjoy it. It isn't "perfect" - there are things one can gripe about, but who cares - it was a great experience. Whether you like sci-fi movies or not, this film is worth checking out.
