I've not read the book and nearly one year after its release date, I decided to go cinema to watch it. Almost everyone around me has seen this movie and given positive comments on it, so I am a little bit confused when seeing the score on IMDb is only 5.9. As far as I am concerned, the plot seems simple: A vampire and a human being fall in love with each other, and for the plot's sake, the heroine unconditionally offers full trust on his lover and even his family though it sounds dangerous. Anyway, all the shots were beautifully made and all the acts impeccably choreographed. The protagonists must have been with thick make-up, but it doesn't matter at all. The vampire shall be solitary due to immortal youth, but staying young forever is engrossing. From aesthetic perspective, love between a vampire and a human being can be more intriguing than fairy tale. Since the story happens to a group of teenagers, I am not young enough to enjoy it too much.

I have never watched any Star Trek film and this is the first version I saw. I think it's great. What made me engrossed in is a lot, the visual effects, the twists and turns, the character development and the thought provoking exploration in human or other being's emotion and mentality. To me, navigating is a sublime and purified course as strolling amongst the clouds is romantic and inspiring though it's volatile at the same time. Recently, the plane of Air France disappeared on the Atlantic Ocean and over 200 people were killed in this accident. This tragedy reminds me of the novel, Vol de Nuit, written by a pilot who wrote the universally recognized Le Petit Prince and also mysteriously disappeared with the plane he piloted in an unknown accident. In this novel, the author describes the struggle and agony of the pilots and commander in storms and hurricane, implying that the sense of responsibility transcends liberty. It's admirable. This film impressed me with the same force. Be loyal to your cause, be firm to your own choice.

However, I still have some doubts with the plot. For example, when Jim was exiled to a planet covered with snow where he met Spark from the future, he was told that his father is proud of him because he is a captain. As Spark from the future world said, this future Spark is coming from the world 150 years later. So it follows that Jim and Jim's father are still alive in the world 150 years later, which means at least this two person can live as long as over 150 years????? Another question is that since two Spark can be existing in two different time zone, the wicked Nero shall also have another one in another world?????? Then, why we only see one Nero????? And why this Nero we saw in the film did not come to another Nero for assistance????? And ironically , this Nero was so lucky that he could go back to the past, why he failed to try to avoid the disaster to be occurred to his planet but take nonsense revenge??????

If the plot is reasonable and that's because I am not smart enough to understand, can anyone answer these questions for me?

It's tiring and discouraging. What kind of message does this film try to convey? Greed always overcomes love? A man with so many flaws succeeded in business but never obtained the sense of happiness. He was despicable, but pathetic. He did not believe in God at all, completely realistic, and the desire to success deluges his mind. He deemed God to be superstition, and the priest sanctified God and pretended to be a sacred prophet; though they two look the opposite to each other from the viewpoint of religion or faith, actually they have the same belief in money, success. Jealousy, egoism, vanity, lubricity…… all these negative characteristics are controlled by self-discipline ; however, the protagonist- Daniel had no intention to manage them, instead, he surrendered himself to his aimless lust and gave in the prospect to love and contentment even though he had some affection to the orphaned boy. After almost 3 hours watching, the audience felt frustrated and brooded over the subject of this film- Is Greed more powerful?
