A film nearly three hours long to tell a plot which never reached anything beyond mildly interesting. Then with another 3 more hours to come in Part Two.
It was not bad enough that you couldn't make it through to end, there was just about enough with the effects to keep you watching but if you had the bingo card, you could pretty much cross off the lot by the end of it: Explosions, a traitor, near death avoided and a man leading thousands into war with a motivational speech as he runs along and minutes later there only a handful of people left, including him.
If you are a big sci-fi fan and enjoys the novel, I am sure that you will enjoy it.
The actors seemed a bit bored with it at times. The cinematography I am sure will be complimented but as it often is, seems to be preferable to a good plot for many viewers.
