saw it by accident but liked it more then expected.

Rating: 6/10 (24 November 2003)

Not being a big fan of the science fiction movie genre I wouldn't have picked this as a movie to see myself but it happened to be on at a friend's house so I saw most of it. This wasn't bad for a scifi-I think, judging by the comments on here most either love it or hate it and I happen to be somewhere in between.
I didn't NOT like it and I could easily see someone else loving it. But wouldn't many agree one really has to like the science fiction genre to like this? The plot is so pure scifi you can't even pretend it's anything else and although the special affects were great and I could appreciate them, I am not a major scifi fan and as such, wasn't that into this movie. I will say, though, that even though this isn't really my thing, this always remained watchable and I managed to get through it and even be mildly into it at parts, which is more then I can say for a lot of there similar movies. I guess that shows this was well made, in it's way. But the fact remains this just isn't my type of movie and it didn't make much of a lasting impression on me. Parts of it I thought were just silly and the parts of the movie I REALLY liked were the more dialog driven scenes rather then the action. It's a movie I could see science fiction lovers going crazy for, and as mentioned It WAS better then a few other scifis I have seen.
While I probably would not have ever seen this, other then the fact my friend happened to have it on, it wasn't a bad way to spend a few hours. The movie as a whole rates to me about a 5.5.
