With so many disappointing scifi movies around, this lovely film was a surprising find that went against the norm. I was engrossed by the cinematography and the stunning visual effects. Every aspect of the film was enjoyable -- the engaging story, the poignant music, and the very credible acting. I was completely prepared for this movie to have an unsatisfying ending, but it surprised me. I highly recommend it to all lovers of scifi and outer space films.
