Visually spectacular... but that's it.

Rating: 6/10 (13 December 2013)

This film is over-hyped.. I'm not saying it's poor, I just think it's not as good as you're led to believe.
First the good things:
Visually, it's one of the most stunning things I've ever seen - you have to see this in 3D, it's the ultimate 3D movie as they're in space and everything is floating all the time and it's simply stunning.
The director did an exceptional job - you really feel as if you are in space. The clever switches from third to first person is excellent and I have to commend this - especially with the 3D, I really can't stress how much of a stunning spectacle it is.
NOW, HERE'S THE PROBLEM: The stunning visuals mask a poor and unrealistic storyline. The characters are predictable, and some of their actions are baffling, and the ending is just utterly predictable. I don't want to spoil the film, but I just couldn't relate to the storyline.
3D VISUALS: 9.8/10 Storyline: 3.6/10
to conclude; it's a wonderful spectacle and the 3D is so stunning it allows you to zone out of the boring storyline - but this is a film I will never watch in 2D. If you want one of the most spectacular visuals ever, this is it. If you want a good film that forces you to think, then don't waste your money.
