Technically any good? Technically good was all that it was, sadly. The tension seemed almost mathematically calculated. That's not to say the calculations don't work--they do. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Of course, I also knew what was going to happen almost every step of the way. The story was incredibly straightforward with very few (if any) surprises. The acting was really awesome--I bought everyone including Chris Evans who is a long way away from the Baxter Building and his role as the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies. It was also real nice to see Michelle Yeoh in a role where she doesn't beat the crap out of people.
How did it leave me feeling? Definitely satisfied, but ultimately not thrilled. It's a brilliantly made movie, but it didn't bring anything new to scifi. It felt like it could have existed in the same "future" as the classic 2001, only without the humor of the Kubrick film.
Final Rating? SIYL - See If You Like (to be thrilled). Seriously, this movie does entertain, just so long as you like being on the edge of your seat for two hours.
