Not that bad

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2014)

When I first saw this movie I was stuck with the idea that I was not going to like it. I'm sorry but I don't like Matt Damon and there he was though, in a futuristic science fiction movie! So, yep, I began to watch the movie with low standards and no expectations... But then I was surprised by the simple but somehow efficient story, by the fact that Matt Damon was good in his role and by the amazing way the special effects were implanted in the real environment. I really really enjoyed the special effects which were worked at a perfectionist level. Not in a "Prometheus way" but in a realistic way. The special effects we "don't see" in a movie are for me the best. This movie is a pretty good example of what special effects should be... The story wasn't really surprising though but sufficient. As I said earlier I was only surprised by the fact that I gently entered into the scenario without finding it boring or totally uninteresting. It could have been better but I thought it could have been worst! Then, it was not that bad and in fact, a good surprise!
