Over hyped ( a little )

Rating: 5/10 (1 January 2013)

Watched this with my family. It's OK but the best parts by far are in the trailers the rest of the film is average at best. Not a feel good film as the ads suggest. The whole way through you hope that the Film will deliver but it does not get there. Some of the CGI is good but that's surely not enough to carry a film in 2012. It leaves you with a lot of unanswered questions but not in the way other more expansive films manage to do. In summary the idea is good, the cinematography is good, the acting is good but the story being told leaves you with the feeling it almost gets there but not quite. Yes, it's an amazing story of survival but that's about it.
