Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2012)

I thought this movie was amazing. However, some people will not like it. As always, some movies require long attention spans like this one. I felt my attention wonder and I got bored once or twice, but I do have a naturally long attention span and was soon hooked with no hope of escaping. Not that I minded. Asa Butterfield is an amazing actor, making me cry several times throughout the film and admire his eyes every time I saw him, even though I believe his real eye color is green. Basically, if you like fantasy and have a nice attention span, you'll love this. It's heartfelt and really tweaked my heartstrings. However, as I stated, some are always going to complain. Science fiction lovers might enjoy this as well. My father watched this. He loves cars and action. He liked this, though I easily saw he would prefer to watch a movie about cars. However, I watched it, and was enthralled. I love fantasy, angst, science, and poetry. I adored this movie and plan to watch it again soon. Basically, it deserves praise. It really made me think. That's the best kind of movie there is.
