I definitely recommend this movie.  It was awesome!  I liked the uniqueness of the story line and, well, it had spaceships, explosions, and fights, so of course it's fantabulous.

Seriously, I do think it was very well done.  There were a few places that slowed the flow of the movie down a wee bit, but they weren't that big of a deal.  By the time I started to think 'move on', they already had.

Matt Damon was brilliant.  I totally respect his acting abilities, although, I think if someone really was suffering from radiation poisoning, had artificial limbs put on and was stabbed in the stomach, they would not be able to do what he was doing. Minor plot detail.  ;)

Favorite Scene:  Carlyle's attempt to get away.
