This film is good because it does not follow the trends of a lot of current sci-fi. There is no planet threatening disaster (at least not in the beginning of the film) and how that disaster unfolds makes perfect sense in the movie. Also, in many current films the main character clearly acts as a sort of messiah figure, you know, the one appointed by the universe to save it. In this, the reason why the main character plays the role that she does grows out of her character and her place in the story. The save the world plot is.supplementary to the story of a woman learning to trust again, and finally finding a real friend in an unexpected place. There are some things that don't make a lot of sense, for example, they travel to another galaxy and don't explain how....(it would take millions of years to travel across ours) but this are minor points. Jennifer Lopez is also great in this playing her character with a festering rage. If you like Sci-Fi, you'll probably like this.

This movie is a fun take on the first, the animation is good, and the bigger story of the film, that not everything can be awesome is an important one. The plot of the film itself is a bit of a mess and doesn't really hold up if you think about it for too long. The colours are shiny. It reminds me of this exchange from DS9:Quark: I want you to try something for me. Take a sip of this.

Garak: What is it?

Quark: A human drink; it's called root beer.

Garak: I dunno... Quark: Come on. Aren't you just a little bit curious?

Garak takes a sip, wincing as he tastes it.

Quark: What do you think?

Garak: It's vile!

Quark: I know. It's so bubbly, cloying...and happy.

Garak: Just like the Federation.

Quark: And you know what's really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it.

Garak: It's insidious.

Quark: Just like the Federation.

But of course, instead of the Federation, substitute this movie.
