Ambitious But Not Satisfying

Rating: 4/10 (2 October 2012)

i love the whole concept of "understanding human origin"... i mean Contact was a personal classic and Mission to Mars was memorable. thus this film's beginning has got me all excited. But then as quickly as it ignites your curiosity, it dampens it quite fast with poorly conceived scenes and storytelling bits that serves nothing to keep the pace and excitement of the film. noomi rapace is nowhere as great as her character in Girl With Dragon Tattoo series and theron is just waiting to be great but held at just a so-so good. fastbender on the other hand got me interested enough to see how the end would look like.
for a ridley scott film, i certainly wished this did better to justify its publicity spending and budget size.
