If you haven't seen it...You've still seen it

Rating: 5/10 (2 July 2011)

It's a true shame this film presented nothing new or exciting to its viewers if only because it seemed to me to be the perfect platform for getting younger viewers back into classic science fiction.
Though there is nothing terrible about this film, I watched it 2 days ago and can already barely recall a captivating moment. When it wasn't ripping off the story line from the animated film Iron Giant, it was only just keeping my attention with explosions and so-called "plot twists" which didn't actually change the essence of the story at all. The characters were quite basic though cute and the special effects were nice but only for a big screen environment.
I'm not sure why it's getting such high scores from users so far but I think my assessment of 5 out of 10 is more than generous for a film that is not offensive to people who paid to see it yet hardly value for money. Rent Iron Giant instead - it's a cute film.
