Should have known that if the critics liked it that much, it would be a phony, manipulative, boring exercise in fake art. The film makers do not care about involving the audience -- just showing how artistic they are. If this were just New England photography, it would be fine. But I didn't believe the story in spite of good acting. It was more like scene work in an acting class than real human experience. Insulting ending signifying nothing.

The movie is truly poignant, unique and uplifting. The story is universal in that it's a battle between good, evil and the world between. THE MOST IMPORTANT thing is that its rating is wrong, misleading, and a travesty. Blockbuster has it rated as though it were an X rated movie. The truth is is that it is closer to G than PG and should be seen by children who can read the clear and simple sub-titles.

Even better than we thought it would be, this film never falters in being true to itself. Tony Shaloub is a stand-out in a group of wonderful performances. The characters are convincing and very likeable. The plot line hits all the right notes and absolutely no wrong ones. The additions or variations to traditional Star Trek lore all work beautifully. We left smiling and very, very pleased.
