Personally the overall feel of the film was a net positive in my opinion…that is to say the scenery and settings were fine…I simply did not care for the plot. I am amazed at how much more I now respect the PT for its inventive plot effort when faced with this alternative…I truly hope we have not so fully punished innovation so as to ensure we receive only regurgitated stories previously deemed safe from here onward…and yes, I am fully aware of the irony of my position–in critiquing this film for lack of originality in the baseline while noting the fact that equal criticism may have led to such entrenching in the first place…<sigh>
For this reason I was quite hopeful that many more would enjoy this film than would despise it. So far I have been pleasantly surprised with the positive reviews…now if only I might be made so satisfied…
