Worth seeing!

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2016)

My wife & I hesitated going to see this movie, as the few reviews we read were not that positive. But we decided to go anyway, and we are glad we did. The movie was very good & well worth seeing. It isn't just a simple, comic book plot nor some ridiculous space alien story. It does have good special effects that support the plot instead of overwhelming it. The story line was well written and characters well developed, people you end up caring about instead of just "bodies" like many movies have had lately. It does touch on situations a lot of people (especially young people) might have difficulty identifying with. As others have mentioned, I don't understand why some of the reviewers couldn't seem to understand the plot, instead getting side-tracked on some of the things that happened and reading into what they think it meant in the story-line.
If you are mature enough to understand a decently written plot, you should enjoy this movie and appreciate the situations it presents.
I encourage you to go see this movie. The scenes in space are worth seeing at the theater on a larger screen. And the movie itself is worth seeing to begin with. Ignore the negative reviewers. They are wrong in my opinion. See for yourself.
Or just wait for the next version of some remake of the next comic book superhero, with its overwhelming CGI effects and typical fighting & violence, which is apparently what most people think is required to work things out with others, solve the worlds problems and vanquish the various forms of evil.
(While I can enjoy these types of movies too, it is nice to see a movie & story that present something new & somewhat different. At least I didn't feel like I watched yet another episode of the same thing yet again!
