...I saw the IMAX version last night and was entertained. There's not a whole lot here that could be considered really original. There were were constant subtle and not-so-subtle references to Wall-e, STNG/Borg, the Jetsons, 2001, Planet of the Apes, Minority Report, Star Wars, and even Independence Day. I think Hollywood is getting low on originality. Pretty cinematography and mostly effective CGI. A lot of the score reminded me of Kraftwerk but I didn't stay for credits so don't know who actually did the music. Probably 20 min too long. Overall I'd give it 3/5.
The previews of upcoming summer blockbusters portend a less than stellar season. Man of Steel, looks weak as does the new Star Trek: lots of action and needless explosions. The next Ironman looks far too serious and totally joyless but may be the best of what's coming.
