Ratings and reviews

Its not a James Bond movie. The movie does have a plot and a child can see and relate to it. At the same time the directors made it where both adults and kids can find it enjoyable. The bad part is Rotten Tomatoes is over critical on everything. They're JD Power Awards, but the makers told JD off and made a good movie anyways. Don't write this movie off and write a review. Yes its slightly immature character wise. The makers may have tried to blend too much, but it worked.

Dane DeHaan ruined this one.

Good sci-fi world building.
