Yes the plot was shortened as a lot of stuff happened within the 2 hour film that I didn't want to spoil for everyone.
This film was just down right amazing, I'm not that big of a fan of Bruce Willis but him in this film was perfect to get him in better movies. I must say this was the best science fiction movie I've seen in a very, very long time. For once it's rated R and not a rushed tween movie that is full of BS.
The acting was just great from all the actors, I especially loved the story, was a very solid and perfect story to fulfill my science fiction needs. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was just amazing in the film, he really pulled off a younger version of Bruce Willis, there just couldn't of been a better actor for the lead. Also good actors were Emily Blunt who played the mother of Cid, though her role was minor, she still pulled of a great job. Jeff Daniels also did a very good job at being the boss type roll.
The effects were surprisingly great, towards the end they really show off there CGI skills and I was totally impressed. Soundtrack also wasn't all that bad, giving a sci-fi kinda sound throughout the whole film, wasn't bad.
If you need a worthy science fiction film to see, then I absolutely recommend that everyone see this film.
I give, Looper, 8/10
