Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 3/4 (Good). Bonus points for not having a villain.
Characters: 0/4 (Terrible)
Dialog: 1/4 (Bad)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)

Special effects/design: 4/4 (Great)
Acting: 1/4 (Bad)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). Classic pulp-inspired art direction, and near-perfect scientific accuracy (I mean, seriously - you don't get this level of good science on film outside of a documentary). Who'd have thought you could have both in one movie?
Objective Rating (Average): 2.0/4 (Indifferent)
