Review

This is a great movie. It isnt your typical same alien vs. human movie where there is blood everywhere and the humans win right before theyve thought it was the end. It is much more interesting. The story has love vs. evil in a whole new way and theres a lesson to be learned through it.

Honestly I didnt really care about the plot all that much. The imagination and creativity is awesome! I love the colors and the ideas they came up with especially how the design of the city. The futuristic clothing is cool too. The only thing I was disappointed in was the enemy aliens. They looked a little too artificial.

My favorite thing about the whole movie was the music. It went from techno to opera to jazz and to all over. I loved the music partially because they used Engima and Vangelis. Many people are like "what the heck was that" when they hear the music but it fits the movie perfectly and leaves you with a feeling more than a theme. I like the randomness of the music it works well with the quirkiness of the movie.
