Fantastic!

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2011)

Let's start by stating that this was the best sci-fi (apologies to the late Forry Ackerman) that I have seen in a long long time. It succeeds at every level. It began confusingly enough and had me wondering what was going on but it wove itself together rather excellently and had me in rapt awe throughout. This is an primary example of a film with significant CGI that was overwhelmed by the story. A superbly crafted tale with levels of complexity that never disappoints...even up to the last seconds!!! The only down side is that it does require a bit more intelligent involvement than the usual fare. I can see the eye-candy generation becoming restless on this one. However, I WILL see this one again and again. Recommended most highly!
