I managed to finally get around to watching this the other day. Normally, this is a movie that I’d have made a point of seeing when it came out. It is a big budget sci-fi movie and that is usually what I like. However, I didn’t catch this one until now. It was OK.
Just OK. Not bad, not great, just OK. The CGI and set designs were excellent. The special effects were very good. The female lead is Jennifer Lawrence, who geographic loyalty says I have to like. (She is from Louisville). She is very popular right now, but while she does a good job in this film, it isn’t great. Its just a workman-like good job. Chris Pratt is the male lead and he does a very good job as a character put in an impossible position who makes a choice that he regrets and doesn’t regret at the same time. He did a very good job of conveying the emotional conflict that is the heart of the film. At this point I’d usually talk about the plot, but in the case of this movie, you are better off not knowing, as the plot is a lot of what makes the story watchable.
I’d give this one 3 out of 5 stars.
