...absorbed by Chinese film-makers and magnified to the Nth degree. You want giant vehicles/spaceships? Check. Post-apocalyptic destruction? Check. HAL-like out of control computer? Check. Future tech up the wazoo? Check. Worth seeing for the imaginative premise and spectacular visuals. Honestly, I wanted to like it more than I did, but story-wise it all ultimately seemed a bit too familiar. There's even what I call a "light-bulb moment," where someone suddenly has a crazy idea that JUST MIGHT WORK and save the day. Also, the climax of the movie seems to go on forever. Still, this one is a pretty fun ride.

That bad, eh? Having missed it during the short theatrical release it got here in Montreal, I was glad to see it show up on Netflix and eagerly added it to my list, but now I am not sure I will bother watching it. I might still check it out - it's not every day I get a chance to watch a Chinese science fiction movie.

Maybe you'll hate it too but, as the 1st movie of its kind, it deserves a chance.
