Title: The amazing Guy Pearce, wasted on this
Product review: As a fan of sci-fi, action, space, Luc Besson and a bunch of other elements, I was hoping that the mediocre reviews of this movie were a bit out of whack. Disappointingly not so - Guy Pearce is just perfect in this role, and the writing of his character is excellent, but it does nothing to save this poor effort of a movie.This isn't really a 'leave your brain at the door' experience, it's just a ridiculous story with moment after moment that is just beyond implausible. Even accepting the silly premise, you still have things in most scenes that make you roll your eyes - the screenwriting uses the most basic devices and almost everything is a leap of faith which stretches way too far very early on. And then there's Maggie Grace, playing a helpless daughter that needs to be rescued... really?Honestly, not worth it, even if you love sci-fi and action and don't mind silly fun.
