It was decent, but could've been better.

The overall story, the length, scene breakdowns/editing were all good. Unfortunately, the acting fell short a few time ...the lead was ok (he was really trying ...a little too much sometimes). The lead actress was pretty good, the partner ...not so much. Along with some pretty lame fighting/shootouts, it got a lower rating than I'd normally give.

decent

Generous themes used in beautiful manner. Drops of romance, bits of freedom, an outgoing detective , his partner and Jane. Good special effects, not bad performances. And inspired end. So, just decent Sci. Fi.
