The visuals, special FX, direction and cinematography in this film are truly outstanding and worthy of its awards. However, the story and characters are sadly, painfully weak. A film full of cliches and embarrassingly narcissistic performances from its cast of two! I'm all for a bit of science fiction/fantasy but this film just had me thinking "as if" from start to finish and by the end I felt intellectually insulted. I'd have rated it lower if not for the amazing visuals and direction. Disappointing with so much potential.
