I heard a lot of praise done to this movie, so I decided to rent it, because I hadn't seen it in cinema when it was showed. The truth is, that it is not the best movie of it's kind, though, at some parts it is quite gripping. Of course, Cruise, the big savior, Dakota Fanning doing a pretty good role, yet I do not believe she will raise to be a real star, mostly because she can only be seen acting only a single type of roles, and those are of the heartless child, very mature one. I haven't read H.G.Wells' novel, so I can not make a comparison on that term. Anyway, the movie was good, but not extremely good. I mean, there were parts which I really wanted to skip. This is a movie I wouldn't like to see the second time, but it wasn't very bad after all.

I don't know what captured me from the very first minute of this movie, but it certainly was a stroke of a genius. The most accurate portrayal of Romania and its medical system, that has many of the carachteristics presented by Cristi Puiu. I recommend this movie to absolutely anyone, but beware that you will not find it neither funny, neither action filled, yet it will thrill one thousand times more that The Ring and it will make you more sad than Titanic ever did. And if you think that something like that, in your country would never happen, well, maybe it's true, but sadly as it sounds there is a county in which all of what you have seen does happen. I believe this is the best film ever produced in Romania, and Cristi Puiu is the new Sergiu Nicolaescu of Romanian cinematography.

When I saw the title of the SF movie I was gonna see in that afternoon on HBO I didn't think I'll stick to it, it's not that I didn't like the Star Trek series, but I heard only bad things about the motion pictures.

But, I said I'd take a chance. and I really found it to be interesting enough. Jean Luc Picard was exceptional, as always, playing the Capitan of the enterprise, a ship that never seizes to amaze me. Also, very well manufactured special effects, very impressing.

So, I think not even the series made me feel like this motion picture did, that is it was very touching in the end;

Very well-contoured characters, whit deep personalities, and a very nice plot, and great actors also. Still, there could be more, but it's like ten times more than I had expected.

It's 8/10 from me.
