Movie Reviews
An ascetically gorgeous film, on an epic scale with a fairly strong story.
To start out, i'd like to say this movie did have its flaws, the 2 main characters were somewhat unoriginal, the story was semi predictable, and there were some cliché traits of your average sci-fi movie. However overall i was very surprised and impressed by the movie, the protagonists managed to seem real and relatable, and even though the dynamic between Caine and Jupiter was somewhat rushed, they had a good on screen chemistry. The universe of this movie seemed well developed, believable, and gorgeous. The cities, worlds, and background extras, much of which were created by cutting edge special effects, were all incredibly eye catching. The action sequences were well designed, flowed well and added to the suspense of the movie. The antagonists of the movie stood out due to their excellent performances. Eddie Redmayne carried the movie with a chillingly strong performance. However other supporting characters also added to the overall feeling of the movie particularly Sean bean. Id like to recommend seeing this in theaters so you can fully understand the scope of this film's visual beauty. This movie walks the line between god awful and brilliantly epic, and despite its flaws it manages to barely pull off the latter.
