premise was great

Rating: 5/10 (25 February 2014)

the cinematography was great, special effects were quite seamless for most of the movie and some of the acting is very good. Asa Butterfield was quite captivating in his lead role and Hailee Steinfeld was perfect in hers, but Harrison Ford was about as subtle as a kick in the groin. it kind of ruined the movie for me.
most people wont even think about Ford's role in running this film off mark, but as a filmoholic I cant get past his giving the story away so early because of his inability to nuance this characters part in the red thread of the movie.
other than that it was a great watch and a movie I enjoyed. just think it could have been better if the lead role didn't give the whole read thread of the movie twist away so early in the movie.
Sir Ben Kingsley had an odd role which I also found a little odd, but at least he stayed within his character and thus didn't distract from the entirety of the production.
all of the younger players made this a great movie. I'd suggest for scifi peeps to give this movie a once through.
