[QUOTE="orbitalfreak, post: 1774656, member: 1669"] Gave it a 6 myself. A pleasent way to spend $7.50, but not something I'm going to bother renting or purchasing. The visual effects were superb. They really captured the look they were going for, with the muted colours, the "light band across the eyes" shots, and such. I've not seen much of the old pulp sci-fi, but I am a big fan of the black/white Superman show; constantly reminded of that style of film. I do think the lighting was a bit too dark overall, though. Even though it was period-authentic like, I think they could have brightened it up a bit so that we could see a little bit more. The acting was a bit flatter than it should have been. It was almost as if the actors were trying to act flat, instead of it just happening. Angelina Jolie was spectacular, definitely my favorite character. The plot seemed a bit rushed at the end. The vials were what? [spoiler]Adam and Eve, I heard, but what does that mean in the context of the film? A two sentence sound bite would have sufficed, especially chock-full of technobabble and false science[/spoiler] Did anyone else catch the blatant Star Wars reference? Dr. Jenning's lab was number 1138. [/QUOTE]
