This movie just came out literally a couple days ago, so I'm sure that not a lot of people have seen it, but it's worth spending money for tickets. When I came out of the movie, I couldn't help but think about a discussion in the forums about the appeal of the Algol Star System. This movie does just that. The characters and plot is predictable for the most part, but there is just something about the universe that they live in that you just can't help but feel connected to...especially since it takes place in the not-to-distant future.
For those who have seen it, am I the only one who couldn't help but wonder about how the amount engineers there must have been among the crew? The Jaeger system is probably about as complex, if not more than, the NASA program.
As an added bonus, I'm a sucker for comradery. This movie has a lot of that.
