Much Better Than I Expected

Rating: 8/10 (22 February 2014)

I can't believe the number of ridiculous reviewers here who have given this 1 out of 10. That is unbelievably unfair and is actually the main reason why I didn't go to watch it in the cinema. Boy did I miss out as a consequence.
This film is not pretending to be high art and if you go to a see a main stream futuristic science fiction film you should expect all sorts of ludicrous futuristic inconsistencies to propel the story along. This is true of almost every equivalent I can think of.
If you think about these things too hard it will spoil your enjoyment and any other equivalent film. However by dwelling on these obvious failings people are missing the point. It does a great job of immersing you in a world and making you really care about the main protagonists and their fate. Add this to beautiful cinematography, sound and superb special effects which are a real treat and way up there in my opinion.
Yes it does have flaws but that doesn't prevent it from being top class entertainment that I would highly recommend. No it's not perfect but no way does it justify less than 5 out of 10.
