A refreshing film!

Rating: 8/10 (23 October 2010)

The first time i saw this film, i was blown away! There was great CGI, the acting was really good as well. I think this is Nicholas Cage's best film yet and i really liked Rose Byrne as well, they acted really well and put in a great performance. The whole look, tone of the film was mysterious, dark and interesting. It had a unique feel to the film. There are no rude scenes or foul language which is good to see. The thing i loved about the film is the ending, how it subverted the stereotypical ending of the protagonist surviving the whole film and always stays alive. Well, Nicholas Cage's characters dies by sun rays burning the earth. I know its not a happy ending but i loved how it wasn't predictable and how it wasn't the usual ending, it was different. (Plus his son and Rose's daughter were saved by aliens to live on another planet) I love this film, worth the watch!
