cyclops 15 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Watched it last Saturday and I was terribly dissappointed!! I was expecting a much better film because of the media hype surrounding the movie. Yes the effects were 1st rate but the title is quite misleading. One would expect a more or less science based movie but the actual movie concentrated on the "human emotions" as they were trying to solve the many problems befalling them. The way the captain died is what I would call stupidity on his part. (just watch the movie to find out) Link to comment
gogoblender 3,072 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Wow! lol, where did this movie shoot out from?

cyclops 15 Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 yes the effects are quite good expecially when they were activating the "bomb" towards the last part of the film. Link to comment
OMGSTUFF 2 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I highly recommend this movie. It's not a cinematic classic or mind blowing in theatric terms, but was truly enjoyable and the story line would probably appeal to a significant number of people on the board (OGame jokes were highly applicable throughout the movie ). I thought it would be 100% cheesy/laughable, but it was surprising. Yes, it's far fetched, but was seriously the most intense movie I've seen. I felt exhausted when I left the theatre.

Katran 0 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hey OMGSTUFF! I merged your topic with the one that we already had on this movie. About the movie I have to say I liked it. It had the feel of 2001 Sapce Odyssey for me. And all the Sun and God stuff only spiced things up. Link to comment
Ike 1 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I recall seeing this topic, but then forgot to comment in it after I saw the movie. The reviewer I like mentioned that they had a science advisor on the set. However, from what I could see they either did not listen to him/her, or s/he was a pretty poor scientist. I went in expecting it to make some kinda sense, and was pretty disappointed that the science aspects were so incredibly unbelievable. Gah, if I see one more space movie where the ship has a huge glass window on the front of the ship I think I'll ! I had a lot of problems keeping track of who was who, especially the three look-alike guys. And I really found the characters' actions to be pretty strange. They really weren't good at anticipating things. Link to comment
myles 2 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 The story is not very coherent, the actions are not that exciting. The plot idea is not that terrible, but it developed badly in my opinion. The directing is just ok. Its a so-so movie. I can't say its a waste of money, but I won't recommend it either. Chris Evans sounds familiar though, perhaps I seen him in TV somewhere. Can't remember which though. Link to comment

gogoblender 3,072 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Long on effects and a little short on the story...I loved this movie. I couldn't get enough of hearing it. I just love what omgstuff had to say about it too. That when he walked out of it...he was exhausted. That's exactly how I felt. I thought the design was superb. It's been a while since a real hardcore sci-fi movie drew me in like this. And this movie's pretty Hardcore. Space Odyssey 2001 was what this movie reminded me of. The great fly-by scenes, the amazing look of this future, a little ahead of our time. If you're a space movie junkie, and there seems to be so few that are expensive these days, check this one out. The look of it's cinematography and sheer attention to sound is worth it. gogo p.s. The choice of a multi-ethnic crew heading towards the sun...cool Link to comment
Yaga 1 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Am I the only one who felt like The story behind the movie was like and Ike's comment kinda says it all .. ".. had a science adviser on the set. However, from what I could see they either did not listen to him/her, or s/he was a pretty poor scientist." .. spot on Link to comment
