Enjoyable Sci-Fi movie with great atmosphere

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2018)

People who say there are countless plotholes, are completely right. But I was more bothered by the woman's role in this movie. She was just there to love the hero and that love helped him to remember. It's like in this old action movies where the super buffed up very manly heroes have a (of course very beautiful, soft and loving) woman on their side so we can see their weak side and we know for what they are fighting. Until the very end I didn't understand what that woman was good for. She was a pilot, she was no damsel in distress, so why make her appear so weak? I'm really surprised that nobody seems to be bothered by this. We have so many movies out there where woman are potrayed much stronger and braver than man (which is ridiculous and unrealistic) and then we have such movies where they reduce a woman to her role as a caring and loving wife - who somehow got pregnant at the end of the movie and I don't know when that happened! I would prefer something in the middle: an interesting, strong woman who is no superwoman at the same time. Well, that said, the sci fi part was spectacular, I loved the scenery, the cinematography, the pace, the mood, the mystery. I was not bored for one second and that means something when a movie has a run time of two hours. I think 8 stars are well deserved considered how much I enjoyed the movie, even though the ending wasn't the most inventive.
