Reviews

I will be honest that you will not find something original. The story is not new except some few details. Nothing really interesting in the ending. But why do I rate this 7? Although the movie is not new, the acting is great. The pace is appropriate, it is not too fast, not too slow. Although the whole story is known, but the details are interesting, I always felt involved and waiting for what is going next. The movie is concrete about a single clear story, it doesn't waste time in marginal unnecessary details. The characters develop well. In short, Nothing will be memorable, but you will have fun time watching it.

Well this is a good movie. I went to cinema blindly to find that this is the only option left . I was in a doubt as it only got 5.7 on imdb. But I was surprised that it is much better than its score. I cannot understand how such a movie got only 5.7. It seems imdb rating is becoming unreliable. This movie is indeed good because:

1) The pace of the movie is excellent. Not too slow and not too fast. You don't get bored and you can still follow the movie with all its details.

2) It's an action science fiction movie, yet it contains some drama. You feel for the characters. You see characters develop.

3) It takes care for the details. The dialog are carefully chosen. Not too lengthy and not too short. The space weapon is a masterpiece. You will even like to look at it and examine its details. You will be happy every time it is used.

4) The story is good, you will always think "what's going next?". The ending is surprising and satisfying while at the same time not easy to predict.

5) The acting is good.

6) Camera angles are excellent.

Although these points might not be prefect, but they are all achieved by the movie at least in a good acceptable level. I cannot find even a single real weak point. I am happy I have watched this movie, and I recommend others to neglect the low imdb rating and watch it.

I understand the criticisms about this movie. But the criticisms fail to consider the movie as a whole and only consider minor things. It is very difficult with respect to me to like a movie, yet I liked this one! I will mention the pros and cons and let the reader decides. I will start with the cons to explain why this movie doesn't get a high rating despite it deserves a lot more.

Cons (as mentioned by criticisms):

1) Camera shaking. It is not perfect but not too bad. It doesn't prevent you from enjoying the movie.

2) Fast dialog. This is an action movie - not a drama. More dialog will make it boring.

3) Story. This a personal opinion. I personally like the story.

Now, why I would give such a movie 8 stars although I am very difficult to be satisfied by any movie.

Pros:

1) In most cases, in action movies, the good guy (hero) starts weak and suddenly becomes unbeatable at the end. Or sometimes the hero is already unbeatable from the beginning to the end. In this movie, we have a fair war. The good guys (heroes) lose and lose and lose from the beginning to the end. The bad guys are tough and really tough, and many times in the movie you wonder "how are they going to make it!?".

2) This movie is very fast. Everything is fast. You will never get bored. No unnecessary lengthy dialog. It is full from the beginning to the end unlike other movies where the director just pass minutes by unnecessary lengthy dialog and scenes.

3) The twist. Although you may predict the end, but it is really satisfying connecting all the parts of the movie into a single picture.

I write this review because I think this movie got a lot less than what it deserves.

This is an action movie that is fast, straight without any derailing. Good and bad guys are almost equal - Fair war- this creates a lot of thrill. Actions scenes are good and thrilling. The story is also good with a very satisfying end.

Don't listen to criticisms. I strongly recommend this movie. You will not be disappointed.
