What is wrong with film producers? I love the show Sponge Bob, so I am basically an easy customer here. Yet, it seems they cannot add live action and money to make Sponge Bob even better. Quite the opposite actually. Story is lame, poor character development, ending is pathetic, 3D animation is unremarkable. On top of that, they changed the back stories of how Sponge Bob met the other guys. High treason!
Early space conquest is surely an exciting period but here producers decided to make it look boring. If you are into senseless drama, gossip and gender issues, you might find an interest in this. I did not because I am only interested in astronauts training, rockets design and launches. Those occupy a very tiny time in the entire series which is more about how much sleeping and drinking the Mercury crew is into. Lame. Not a single character is likable in the show, they all are annoying or invisible.
Well, I am not frequently giving high scores, you can check by clicking my user name, confirming this is a real review as well. The movie is definitely underrated (barely above 6 at the time of this review on November the 15th). I am giving a 10 for several reasons. Most of all, as I said, it is underrated and I hope to raise the final score a bit. This movie is not perfect, but it is very good. It is a disaster movie but it is not a mere copy of existing ones, it has its own flavor. I found that certain periods, although not all of them, are very detailed and highly realistic, especially when it comes to military management. Social psychology has an important place in the movie, not only intra family relations, but general human interactions when confronted to threats to life. Butler has a more developed role than usual, less muscular, more next door guy and this is better. Maybe he can become a more subtle actor ans gain bigger roles à la Bruce Willis, yet I find it hard to relate to, and he is barely likable, same goes for the rest of the cadt actually. I found the kid annoying, to be honest, way too fragile and whiny even for his age. I suppose this is plausible if he was overprotected, etc. Even though I did not bond with the characters, it was worth following them, quite a thrill. There are spectacular pictures that do not always entail explosions and destructions. I will not spoil, and I will simply say that it builds a frightening atmosphere. Situations can be disturbing to very young viewers. In conclusion, this is a hollywood grade movie, and its two hours are never boring. Try it and make your own opinion. I think the movie deserves at least 7 or even 8.
