Good - not great

Rating: 2/10 (4 October 2013)

In a cinematic world where special effects are commonplace, I don't rhapsodize about them anymore. I expect seamless special effects. However as a story, this movie is as boring and predictable as they come. I would have expected a different movie, but the previews are so misleading as to make me feel cheated.
The movie plot seemed to be an amalgamation of all of the movies that came before. I came away feeling that I could have assembled this movie by editing together scenes from 2001, Red Planet, Alien, Star Trek, etc.
The funny thing is that the minimum review length is ten lines, but there isn't enough substance to warrant that length.
Admittedly, the movie is visually stunning.
