I'm the opposite of a sci-fi fan but.....

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2009)

I want to stat off by saying that I went to see this movie ONLY because my boyfriend thought it sounded really cool and I have a very open mind artistically and am willing to give any movie as well as music and things such as that a chance. So let it be said, science fiction is NOT my thing... Say what you will about me after I state this but at this point and time I have yet to see ANY of the Star Wars movies in their entirety. I absolutely intend on seeing at least the first and deciding from there... That may all seem completely beside the point but I just want to make it clear the fact that I really am not a science fiction fan generally. Sooooo, when my boyfriend informed me he wanted to see this film I initially laughed, thinking he was joking cause after seeing a preview I just thought it looked ridiculous. Either way, this movie came out about 4 or 5 days ago (depending on if you go based on when you go to sleep or 12am=next day...) and I knew I was going to wind up seeing it sometime within the first weekend it was out. So, cutting to the chase, the boyfriend asks on Saturday to go see it with two friends and I was probably the one who least wanted to see this movie out of the four of us. However, all I can say is AMAZINGLY done!!!!!! I absolutely LOVED it in all honesty... brilliant!!!
