From a design perspective I find it to be immaculate and has been consistently borrowed from for many years since and I'm sure many more in the future. The cast is fully well rounded, establishing their characters with more layers and resonance than most films of much longer length can manage.
I believe it to be the perfect film, and it will probably remain that way for me. |
For me, it so, so, SO boring! It doesn't grip me, it meanders, the plotting is confused (at least in the two versions I have seen), Harrison Ford is wooden and annoying (as usual). It looks pretty, but is hollow and empty (not unlike
Prometheus, though it is vastly better than
Prometheus!) with nothing that I felt I could latch onto.
Those are the main reasons I feel it is over-rated - not
bad, but over-rated.
