I honestly don't know what the complaints with this film from the established circle of 'critics' was. Was it that the introductory notion of needing to use evil to fight evil somehow conflicted with their value system? Was it that some dislike had been brewing among reviewers towards Vin Diesel and they used this film to express it? Was it that the reviewers don't get this style of sci-fi which is admittedly slightly over the top?
Whatever it was it seemed like the movie was treated very unfairly by the press.
If you have only heard of this film from critics reviews and like sci-fi you will be pleasantly surprised when you see this film.
It is another great continuation of the legacy of space opera. It combines grand themes of good and evil and puts them in a visually stunning and epic universe.
Vin Diesel's acting is a little hammy but he fills the role well, and the way he plays it didn't feel at all out of place.
The special effects are awesome and the themes are interesting. The fight scenes are brewing with menace, and the villains are totally evil and repulsive.
Who could ask for more from a sci-fi film? One of my top 10 sci-fi films of all time! How could it get 28% on Rotten Tomatoes I will never know, just solidifies my disgust with mainstream 'critics'.
