Terrific!

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 2012)

I don't know why everyone hates this movie!
I had the same response to this as Avatar: that some gifted artists had worked incredibly hard on a terrific piece of storytelling. It's big, utterly consuming, terrifying, well cast and fun at times. It uses modern cues to create a spellbinding vision--there is certainly beauty amongst the mayhem.
The movie got derailed somewhat in that they set out to find the gods and end up fighting for their lives. When they finally meet their maker, he displays no interest in them--which was a let down.
The intent is recovered at the end as they disappear in search of more adventure. But the heroine confuses "God" with "alien races". And that hints at more carnage to come if they make a sequel.
P.S. Fassbender is a freak and I look forward to more of his work!
