almost a classic

Rating: 8/10 (4 August 2014)

Directly touching my recent loss of a Family member in the first minutes of the story, this movie had me glued to the screen. I never felt the dead spot most new movies have to let your head relax and i liked it. It was great till the very end.
CG was so effortlessly seemed into the story, your imagination rests on the believe this could be really shot on other parts of our galaxy. It was visually amazing. You forget it is fake and fall in love with it as real.. and that is the point to use CG. It complimented the wonderful writing of this flic.
The casting was perfect for each character. Design was off from my recollection but still done well. I kept thinking the bad guy was more of a Marilyn Manson nightmare come into life, lol but that was even done well. Glenn close was the only " who did she pay to get into this " person that seemed more of a name add one. ( like her horrible head piece. .lol.. really bad) Lucky for us she is n to in it much.
Reason why I can never consider this a classic Sci Fi, the useless adaptations of rotten language. It was pointless, no reason for 99% of the trash talk did nothing for the story. If it was the start of it, I would accept a characteristic development. Yet, for some reason, the language goes to total trash talk near the end? They took the shallow language to the point of adding a word that would get you in jail if you said it to a cop..lol.. It's like they added bad language to raise the movie rating. In doing so they lost a major part of the family markets, if you have a teen it will be fine but those with younger kids will want to avoid this movie.
