Poorly Directed

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2013)

*** SPOILER ALERT! *** I'll actually try to not spoil too much.
This movie lacked punch. The production values were high, which I always appreciate in any movie but especially in fantasy (sci fi, horror, fantasy proper). That's because I love special effects. The special effects were fine, but not much, quantity-wise.
The story was fine, but draggy and possibly not as tight as it could have been. No one's acting was bad, but there was something... overdone... about the way guys kept nodding with approval to each other. You'll see what I mean.
And what is a guy doing with a cigar on a planet that was all but destroyed years previously. And I mean 'destroyed'. Again, You'll see.
I'll say no more.
*Quit ripping us off Hollywood!
