I would say it is very different from any other movie I have seen in a very long time. Also, don't watch the trailers, they give away too much.

If you're so concerned about movies being worth your money, why don't you just download them? Even if a movie isn't stellar, I would say it is rare that a movie is so bad that it isn't even worth the time I spent watching it.

Also, the special effects are very over the top, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
