I'm not a big sci-fi fan; I agreed to see this movie more because my husband wanted to see it. I'd been apprehensive because it's nearly three hours long and I often rate a movie by how many times I look at my watch. Well not only did I NOT look at my watch even once, I was most definitely captivated by the entire movie - from the action-packed and often sweet storyline, to the breathtaking scenery and special effects. I absolutely did not want this movie to end - loved it!
