Stunning CGI and Graphics, dreadful plot!

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2014)

I can only give this film a rating of 5 out of 10 because any normal film is split into two parts: the storyline and the visuals. I give this film 5/5 for visual effectiveness because the graphics are just fantastic, a real step up for film which I am thoroughly excited about as I am a young director myself. The way everything was done and organised was brilliant but what I can't forgive about this film is the fact that they wasted such beautiful visual effects on a screenplay which is complete rubbish! As an occasional screenwriter too, I really respect a great screenplay with a thriving storyline, but honestly: a 10 year old could have written this film. They are in space, their ship is blown up, they go to another ship - the man floats away (oh no), that ship blows up so she goes to another ship. Now guess what happens... exactly, that ship blows up and the escape pod takes her to earth. Done, screenplay written. I'm not annoyed that it was a bad screenplay - i'm most frustrated that they used such wonderful techniques and skills for such an awful piece of literature! 0/5 for storyline.
