An average movie

Honestly, even though I was interested by this sequel, I actually wanted to see the first installment before but, somehow, it never happened. Indeed, even though it has now reached a cult status, it is never broadcasted on any of the channels I have and I never came across a dvd with a decent price. On the other hand, this sequel was finally on TV so I thought I should skip the first installment for now. Eventually, I must admit, it looked pretty awesome and, apparently, it was one of the few movies worth seeing in 3D in the theaters and with the cool soundtrack provided by Daft Punk, they managed to create a really nice mood. Unfortunately, it was still not really amazing though. I mean, you could feel that the whole thing had some great potential, it could have been more than another fancy looking blockbuster but, unfortunately, you end up with a slightly idiotic plot with some major plot holes. On top of that, I was never convinced by Garrett Hedlund but I’m not sure that it was actually his fault, I think it was more due to the fact that his character was rather poorly developed with some really cheesy dialogs. Still, in spite of its flaws, it remains a decent SF feature and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
