I liked it a lot

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2009)

I'll keep this short. This movie had a great story, great action and was really well made. Sam Worthington really does a great job, even in the scene where he looks at the sky, puts his hands up and screams. That's how you do it, Gavin Hood. My only real complaint is that this movie didn't show much of the overall conflict between machines and humans, and hopefully the next one will be bloodier. Some parts of the plot seem slightly implausible as well, but this is offset by surprisingly good dialog. The action is all great looking, realistic and works seamlessly into the story. This isn't up to the level of the Batman reboots, but it's a very enjoyable movie.
