Great movie, Alright Plot, Bad End

Rating: 6/10 (21 June 2009)

Summary:
I enjoyed this movie, the special effects were phenomenal, I really liked the entire movie until 30 minutes from the end or so... but at least it was original, not a standard text book ending.
Cons:
There are some parts of the movie that really, don't make sense at all... and some things that don't even play into the plot, just take up time in an already 2 hour long movie. In my opinion, It could have been much better then it was. There was also a section in the movie, towards the middle area. Where the story just seemed to linger and die and get boring.
Pros: Great acting, very good acting by Nicholas Cage. Great screenplay and a very well made movie. The CGI was above average. I can't wait to buy the DVD version so I can watch "The Making of" to really see how much money and resources were poured into this movie. I also have to comment the sound and music were very well made. Some of the music reminded me more of a horror movie before the goblin pops out then a Sci-Fi movie.
Overall, it was well made and a good amount of money was used to make it realistic. I just wish the plot was as good as the screenplay.
