Ok, every movie cliche of the American movie typology gets repeated here. Wounded guy seeking to start over, being used by the military industrial complex to strip mine "unobtanium" HOW STUPID must it be? Well, it's good. See the IMAX 3D version, go to a matinee if you want the price to be reasonable. Take your kids if you want, it's ok. Just don't expect a new story, but expect to be BLOWN AWAY. It is impressive. Worth the money, worth the headache from the 3D glasses. Trust me, I never go to the theater anymore because there is SO MUCH garbage out there. This is a gem in the rough.
