Kinda decent science fiction but failed box office movie. It was not another 'Avatar' or 'Oblivion' as per those who hated it, for a theme like this they expect strong and powerful protagonist who fights aliens and victorious. But this movie was quite calm and silent, lot like a novel for everyone with the two characters and one simple quest to accomplish. Yes I agree the movie was resemble the quality of some television mini series and I believe it should have been one.
For me it was two time better than the 'Hunger Games', 'Hanger Games' had few fine stunts and people loves it. I feel there's no wrong in giving an artistic touch to a movie with a concept like this. I am not saying it was an art movie. Yes there were a few scenes where the movie had unacceptable portions which are not fitting properly into the story. Especially the boy rescued by a giant bird and in the first place why they are transporting the S'krell, better they should have killed it in Nova Prime. The unexplanation was the main damage to the movie, they might thought to brief now and it brought in its sequel.
Finally I agree it was not an awesome but an average movie, definitely not worth to try it on a big screen but to rent it or to see on cable it is not that bad. Another drawback was to see Will sitting in one place throughout the movie, more like he agreed to do it to introduce his son Jade in advanced matured role and also to boost movie's hype with his star value. In few parts I fell on the boredom because the movie had no serious lines like yellings and shoutings and gun fights. Overall, not liked it much neither hated.
