A pretty good action movie . . . At first glance this appears to be a movie that relies a little too much on science fiction. However, if we look beyond that - it is an action movie and I would say that it was a pretty good action movie. Far from all the epics going on at the moment (Cold Mountain, LOTR Return of the King, The Last Samuri) it is a refreshing break for the mind; that is , as long as you don't over think certain elements of the movie. Ben Affleck fits perfectly into his role as a cocky engeneer and though there isn't really much for Uma Thermon to do, she does her part well. The ideas behind the storyline are very interesting and do not fail to capture the viewer's attention. However, if they do, there's always the fast paced action to appease the masses. 6.5/10
