A big concept which probably needed to be trivialized a bit to be a movie
This is one of that rare movies which left me without being able to express a solid vote: from one side, it tells a classic story of an hero escaping a trapping situation with his woman; on the other side, it shows concepts so deep which really needed an enormous CGI effort to be put on a screen.
So the great, omnipresent, CGI is functional to the story, and it could be even pushed farther without turning this movie into a Vin Diesel one.
What it left me with more to be desired is the clear intent to trivialize the story in order to let it be a commercial movie in the first place and, this is a real intriguing paradox, this need for trivializing things to let the world accept them is one of the main morals behind the movie itself. If you see it like this, you get yet another point of view from which to see this strange, deep yet somewhat cheesy movie.
