A Ripping Yarn, A Great Film.

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2014)

I feel it is my duty to write a favourable review to this film, and just to get more to see it. I took my nephew to an almost empty cinema expecting a children's tale, a kind of Hogwarts in space. I wasn't expecting too much from the film, but I was very pleasantly surprised.
It follows the usual formulaic tale of a person with a destiny goes on a journey faces adversary and blah blah to the end. But it does it brilliantly, the tale is a ripping yarn, it's just a great story, with a great cast and dazzling effects. Its my first surprise film of this year
It is only later I learned this is taken from a famous Scifi saga, I would love to see the rest of it.
