You better like Sci-Fi.

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2014)

The movie was fine but just too long. The story is strong with a familiar theme for sci-fi fans but one rarely explored in movies. The respect for real science is refreshing. The performances are believable. Everyone looked like a real person reacting to difficult situations. The special effects are at a level we have come to expect, excellent. This is a movie that needs to be seen on the big screen to get the full effect.
Everyone connected with the production did their jobs well except the director in his editing decisions. Can't imagine that there will be much new on the inevitable DVD. At +2 hours, every scene better be essential to the story and they aren't. There a couple both early and later in the movies that could have cut without any loss to the story. Because of this, one better be a sci-fi fan or the whole experience may be disappointing.
