Sci-fi, comics, heroes, action and fun... A pleasant surprise....

Rating: 7/10 (4 August 2014)

Got to hold my hands up here! When I first saw the poster and saw the name of the film, I groaned thinking this was going to be something akin to the straight to video sci-fi stuff from the eighties (just updated). Keesh and cheap, but I was wrong. This is wonderful.
We have here an original enough story of a motley crew who together end up being out to stop the destruction of some intergalactic worlds. We have a man from the 80s, a lovely kick-ass lady, a genetically modified raccoon, a big alien strong man a walking tree! It's different but trust me the humour flows, the characters are heart-warming, the story is fun and the action is well paced.
Various good stars in this but they are either secondary or in some other form (for example the raccoon). It all just works! You wouldn't think it would but it really does.
Wonderful stuff, already looking forward to more.
