unnecessary romanticizing and borderline ridiculous

Rating: 2/10 (14 November 2013)

The movie would be a good one if it was released 40 years ago.. Taking humankind to the space era is always an interesting thought, but then the movie starts to introduces many technical flaws I lost counts well into the first 60 minutes of the movie. It seems the movie can't decide whether it's going to be a sci-fi, explosive action, love story, or something else entirely. In my personal view, it's a lame propaganda movie that got lost in the way.
The only shining jewel here is Jodie Foster, of course. She alone brings the 2 stars rating, even when the script forcing her character to be an inferior antagonist.
The plot is forcibly fed viewers with twisted idea of inequality in general, wealth disparity, and so conveniently ignoring and never explains the root cause of the problems. It feels as if the whole thing is staged just for the sake of the romanticized sufferings.
No thanks to the writer I've lost 100 minutes of my life plus the extra 15 for this warning-slash-review.
