Ending twist wasn't kicking

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2014)

I didn't read the novel so I can't compare the movie with it. But, after reading the summary of the novel, I think this is a quite successful movie adaptation.
Good storyline, good acting from the casts, good costumes & props, and cool visual effects too. Asa Butterfield successfully portrayed a child who is genius but quiet and misfitted. Abigail Breslin was lovely as a sister. Harrison Ford was suitable as a kindhearted commander.
There is only one thing to feel sorry about though. The ending, which was supposed to be a good twist but it did not feel kicking! I wish they had shown more battle simulation in the movie, I guess that will help.
