Enjoyable even though predictable

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2014)

Like many other reviews point out, it is the kind of film that takes a lot of pieces of other films and mixes them together to splurge out a 'hit'. Well I can confirm that is completely the case, throughout the entire film I couldn't help but find myself spotting similarities with Moon, Independence Day, Star Wars and a fair few more.
That all said I still found it enjoyable to watch. It was an interesting approach looking at a human being used to destroy it's own planet. Quite an interesting idea, although it seemed a little unnecessary seeing as surely the robots could look after themselves? and once they had sapped all of the 'energy' out of the sea to power their drones what would they do with the thousands of clones they had on the ship? Ah well, maybe I'm just in a rather relaxed mood.
I went into this film already thinking that it would be predictable and probably not to original and with that approach I enjoyed it.
