Surprisingly Not Good.

Rating: 5/10 (9 March 2015)

This movie created some problems for itself. Sometimes its digital animation was overdone, squandering pivotal action sequences by making them seem ridiculous. Also, some ideas were recycled, such as the suspicious android, the likes of which anyone who watched "Aliens" will find either too familiar or too predictable. Additionally, acting was infrequently bad. One example of that is Elba's poor American accent. His character had shipmates with non American accents. He could have kept his natural way of talking and the film would have been better for it. Not least of all among the movie's many failures and clichés, its on screen romantic relationships were goofy and/or disgusting.
Its basic plot may have been decent enough on its own to earn a pass, but that had to clear all of the hurdles which this movie's makers created for themselves, in order for the movie to still seem good in the end. My feeling is that it does not quite do that. It seems okay, maybe even pretty okay, but ultimately, it is not quite a film well done.
