It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Hello, saw this film and do not like it so much. Was a cheap film with cheap performance. The story is quite OK, but it seemed a bit strange to me. Nice is, that one antagonist is not an one dimensional as it seems to be always.Only the CGI was OK for me and the sister seemed very nice, she is so smart; love it. But this film has no real ending for me. Because the film is short it looks, that they ran out of money. Looks like a part 2 to come, but there is none ...

OK, the ending was rather disappointing because it was shot as a pilot, but i definitely would have watched the series. A nice mix from various Sci-Fi-Elements like the "Old General who served the Republic before" .... A advanced technological race who wants to "assimilate" the galaxy ....I think if the characters had a little more time to develop it would have been interesting.

I like science fiction; and it's nearly impossible for me to walk out of a movie or change the channel in the middle of a story--but this stinker taxed my limits. There is next to no story, the dialogue is thin and weak, the special effects are overall mediocre, and the movie goes nowhere in 2 hours. The only good part was the beginning with a few good scenic shots and an intro that had some promise. What a letdown afterwards! Don't waste your precious time with this.... I give it 3 out of 10.

this is an excellent movie and i would like to see it turned in to a tv series
