Maybe if they had someone like Johnny Depp in this, it could rise above being SO boring! And get real, why complain about marketing? It just sucks, just like Disneys Mars Needs Moms and the Black Hole, If they are going to make a kids movie, then they need to go for the jokes, singing, dancing, etc, if they want an adult movie then throw some real science in there and real dialogue, because this is just plain bad, no matter how you see at...Hopefully they won't ruin Star Wars more than it already has been!

The movie seemed good if you are under 13, or you have little kids. Basically it is a very corny movie with extremely bad acting, and the storyline is very predictable. Just another Disney film for kids. The action is short and crapy. Only a few people are killed in the film and when they die they bleed blue ish black ish blood. Like I said good kids film, but boring and corny for adults, or older teen. If you are hopeing to watch a sci fi movie like Avitar you will be very upset.

Now I understand why this movie was such a failure. Although the basic story is good, the directing and editing are terrible. Character development is pathetic, casting is poor, soundtrack is forgettable and there far too many " that was BS" moments. I don't recommended this film. Pray there is never a sequel. I don't know what the 548 people that gave this 5* was watching but what I saw wasn't worth the money paid to see it or the time it took to watch it. Trash.
