Review by funkyy

OK, this was very well made, acted and filmed and I enjoyed it even though, like many other viewers, I knew the story having seen other versions that were made. The acting was good, the effects were excellent and the design of the buildings, flying machines, etc were really imaginative....but why so many dark interior scenes? Didn't they invent a light bulb in that future world?? So many scenes where I was squinting to see who was who and what they were doing. Why spend millions making an excellent movie and then hide everything in darkness and shadow???? Maybe it sounds petty, but it spoiled the movie for me. I guess the director didn't want to make a shiny cute Star Wars kind of future world., and I get that, but I really felt disappointed that so much was hidden from view just to create a mood or atmosphere.
