This is a movie worth seeing on the special effects alone, and that is pretty much all there is good about it. The story is terribly cliche'd which usually does not hurt an adventure movie. He uses common liberal ideology to propel the story line and attempt to make some statement about current events but is completely superficial. However the visuals are so immersive that you wont care. Scorecard: Scale of 5 Story = 1 (At least he uses Sci-Fi ideas) Setting = 2 (Too many sci-fi cliches in one planet) Acting = 4 (great acting almost hides the terrible writing) Visual Effects = 10 (Wow! Must see in 3d) Realism = 5 (on the second cgi movie that I have seen with near perfect physics modeling! And consistent scaling. )
