Mostly entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2013)

Do you like really meaty fights and great action dressed up in typical hero-saves-the-planet-from-evil clothing? Did you like district 9? Then this is the film for you.
I didn't know it was from the same people as district 9 but it became obvious after about 10 minutes. From start to finish my eyes feasted on the same kind of stunning visuals and sometimes gut-wrenching action that d9 had. I notice some say it wasn't as good. I say it's more like Blomkamp moved the ACTION slider up and the STORY slider down.
You won't feel any pity for the baddies in THIS film, it's darth vader and the death star X 10, so don't go in expecting to be blown away by the story, do go in expecting another district 9 mega-action-thrill-ride.
