Well, on the bright side: it is a sf series. That and its well made, the special effexrs are good enough. On the other side: it has no soul. Not a single one. I couldn't care less what happened to the main characters. But... it has that in common with the game so.... no harm done I guess?! Too bad it feels like a looooong scene from the game. The series has potential but rarely delivers right now. Sad really. Maybe with other actors or another director, dunno. Change something else the series ends soon, maybe even after just one season and it deserves better. Ah well. Maybe it made gamecomputer-lovers happy. Who knows.

This movie is good enough as a movie for kids. For grown ups not so much... sure, the special effects are good and the music score is fitting but there are some serious problems with this movie. For one: it is way to long. Way. Secondly: the main charactors hardly ever move you. And the storyline... wow... sooo obviously, so cliche. Irritating really. The subplots and supporting charactors are also obviously and sort of hollow, predictioly. This movie heavingly leans on black and white points of view and how to battle these, but in a way it starts to be enoying, that can't be the goal. All in all: pretty made but a missed chance.

Well, after reading some of the reviews I sort of braced for impact. But it was not as bad as I expacted. True, the acting is well... lets say errr... below par. But so was the acting in the first Starwars movies to be honest. The graphics where above par, way beyond to my surprise. Does this make up for the not-thrar-good acting? Nope. But it eases the pain. Do I care that it has a lot in common with the original, with Starwars? Hmmm... a bit, bit not so much that I bothered to be honest. This movie is good enough on its own. Give it a chance and watch it without your mind made up already. You might end up liking it.
