A surprisingly decent science fiction movie with plenty of action and some emotional content. While somewhat predictable in its evolving storyline, there is good pacing, a nice effort with photography and set design considering the budget constraints ($105 million) for an attempt at a blockbuster being released June 11 when was getting school out. There are a few overly scripted moments that seem made just to keep the movie going forward and maintain a set storyline instead offering a more authentic or serious way out (a little lazy and unoriginal). No real movie breakthrough but this production and its use of existing sci fi and action adventure concepts were put to good use. Worth at single viewing at least revealing a commendable effort in the action adventure sci fi genre. Considering the state of art and conceptualization of movies almost twenty years ago, this movie has withstood becoming dated and retains its production value so far.
