Just finished this on the Netflix, finally. For what it was, it was a very good movie.
For the fans out there (I never knew this existed), I'm assuming this was a pretty good adaptation from the book(?)
They obviously took this movie
very seriously. Great actors. Great set designs. Great dialog (realistic words, phrases, and actions of how a
late 1800s society would act with such phenomena - believeable). Unbelieveable CGI. Great design of alien species. Terrific musical score
(original?).
And, like some people are saying... they did their research: they collected a lot of popular legends, myths, stories, encounters... bits and pieces
from every where. Which makes it fun for the 'normal' folks and especially meaningful to the 'believers/conspiracy folks'.
Not cheesy. Very well done. No matter your opinion of underlying stories and messages (or conditioning), enjoy it for what it is... A pretty damn
good movie.
Just my $.02 - Thanks for the topic. S&F just for that - I star'd a ton of you others, too (nice rebuttals)
