Average replacement of science by fantasy

Rating: 6/10 (12 December 2014)

Typical Hollywood big budget Science Fiction. Well, fiction at least, not any science here. It's a fictional depiction of a future which for most should appear no more than fantasy. Of course beautiful people pilot space craft. Why wouldn't they? And a couple engaged to be married would of course be sent on a space mission together.
I didn't really get the gist of the story, but that's because there was too much whispering by the characters. Usually the whispering would take place after noisy fighting scenes.
There's lots of silly sound effects made by Jack's flying machine, but I was reassured to hear that computer systems of the future still use the same reassuringly futuristic beepy-clicky noises that all computer systems from films and TV of the past twenty years use just so I know that deep complex computations are taking place.
I found myself critical of the scenarios the Jack was placed in, to only later find they were not what they seemed. Clever. A twist! But find it difficult to believe Jack's seemingly super-human physical resilience.
There were lots of unimaginative triangles and circles and cubes to indicate qualities such as non-human intelligence and comprehension - I did feel the loud buzzing and beeping noises the drones made were quite appropriate - they would be particularly intimidating.
