I'd love to see a re-edit of this movie without the clunky format of a voice-over narrator.
First, the way it was voiced was just dull to listen to, especially paired as it frequently was with ponderous music.
Second, many times the narration interrupted the actors' momentum, which is a shame because the casting was A+
I tuned in BECAUSE the names in the cast promised quality and the concept sounded acceptable in a sci-fi movie.
Instead, they were wasted as The Voice interrupted to "tell not show" in defiance of every rule of visual story telling.
Honestly, does the director think his audience is so dim they'd not pick up those points with a few well placed edits or lines of dialogue? Did the director not trust viewers at all?
Honestly, what should have been a nine or ten, felt like a three. And only thinking about it, piece by piece, brought it up to the six I'm clicking on now.
