Highly entertaining and moving.

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2013)

The standard for which we hold to movies is based upon what we are expecting of them. There are sci-fi classics, and there are sci-fi wonders, and there are sci-fi entertainments. Not every sci-fi movie has to hold up to one person's standard of expectations for ALL sci-fi films.
I do admit, I left the movie having enjoyed the movie greatly but also feeling that there was a lack of depth. But that is hardly anything to affect my rating of the movie.
I enjoyed what I paid for. I would probably be willing to pay for the movie.
I believe there is a great story in the movie. But it's depth does get a little crowded out by the action and the visuals... but it is still there. I'm sure with multiple more viewings I will come to see more of the depth because I will not be distracted from everything else.
The acting is very good. It was hard for me to see the guy from D9 and A-team as the villain and take him seriously for a tough guy. But in the end he did a great job with his character.
I thought the other actors did a great job as well.
Of course, the action and visuals were amazing and worth the price to see on their own.
I did find a good level of emotion to the movie.
I feel like another 10-15 minutes to the movie could have been used to set up the characters better, including the side characters and add more depth to the movie's story. Nonetheless, I greatly enjoyed the movie!
