It's an okay movie. Not really original, but it is entertaining. I felt that a lot more could have been done with it, but it failed to meet its potential. It's true that most of the movie, or at least the highlights, were shown in the trailers. Not much else really happened that was exciting. Unless....of course you're also a fan of Star Trek and you got a kick out of seeing Neelix sans makeup as one of the inhabitants of their utopian society .

You know a movie that did surprise me by being fairly good was Stealth. I thought it was going to be another one of those "man makes machine, machine rebels and kills man, man destroys machine," stories. While that was certainly what the trailers made it out to be, I was delightfully surprised to see there was more to it than that. I wouldn't say the movie is for everybody, but at least I didn't mind killing $19.50 (for my wife, dad, and myself) to go see it.
