What an unexpected gem of a sci fi movie. I was worried that there are not enough sci fi movies being made lately. I still am. This one has been a reprieve and a total thirst quencher. Perfect.
***why are so many reviews claiming this to be a bad or average movie?*** I am scratching my head why there is so much acerbic criticism of this movie. Yes it may be adapted from game or books but this movie is quite original. I don't know what people expect when they go to a science fiction movie. If you thought this movie was about war then you might be disappointed that there is no gore and blood splattering. This movie is much more intelligent, fast paced, and actually very engaging. It may have lacked big budget actors and big advertisement budget, however, you can see where the money went. decent special effects and a decent production, that lets you just enjoy the story.
I would suggest that you watch this movie without further delay if you are checking the reviews to make up your mind on the title. This is a must watch. I strongly advise you not to watch any trailers or read up on the story line. The surprises in the story are the real gems in the movie.
It is always great when a movie has the possibility to become a sci fi classic. This definitely has the potential and I do hope that more people discover this gem. All the acting are good and the surreal war zone is good and a perfect backdrop. This is not a gory war movie. It stays on topic and develops a powerful narrative as it goes along. So enjoy. Highly recommended. :)
