I really liked the original premise of the movie and it had alot more action than I thought it would, overall very happy with it. Also raises issues about apartheid, discrimination and overall intolerance and a whole lot of ----spoiler-- guns that make bodies explode.
 
One thing though, I've read enough Arthur C Clarke books to be snobbish about things. The movie does not have some higher science fiction premise and some greater overall plan. Though it is hinted the ship is essentially a bunch of alien workman so it explains the lack of overall superiority.

I think the movie was never aliens bring knowledge to greedy humans but about social issues presented in an interesting way.
 
It looks good. I've wanted to see it since I watched the trailor for it.
 
since the trailer i saw on late night tv i was like OMG MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!! its good to have a review on it now, cuz i wanted some reviews before i went and spent the money to go see.
 
True I'm always on rotten tomatoes lookin at the reviews, why spend 9-6 dollars on something I will regret seeing? Mostly just looking at the trailers can tell me they are duds.
 
I did not enjoy it that much - about 1/2 way threw I was like - COME ON!!!!!!! Just getting board. The last part was Much better but It just dident do much for me on the whole. I am easy when it comes to movies so this was a suprise to me! O well - My 2 cents
