Review by karlosdaynjer

I don't quite get the low rating and silly negative reviews for this film. The people who complain that it is slow are clearly youngsters with short attention spans. I found the story in general, as well as the characters compelling up until the end. I also found practical effects refreshing in an age of overdone CGI. Filmed differently, it could have been a full-on homage to classic sci-fi movies.

However, I would say that I found the conclusion disappointing and unfulfilling. There is an impression that all is well, and relationships are restored. The implication of happy ending for everyone was really not realistic given all the things that preceded.
