A little balance required.

So while I didn't walk out of the cinema seething with rage, I did wish I'd seen District 9 instead.

Here's something good I liked to balance it out.

Flash-Forward. Complete nonsense. And, a bit like Lost or Heroes, all the better for it. The acting is decent - the action spectacular enough - both reminiscent of most good TV dramas - but the key thing for me is that it's in bits and you have to work out where they all go. The pace is good, there's a little cliff-hanger at the end that you weren't quite expecting and an appropriate tone of tension and menace threading through it.

"Nonsense!" I hear you cry.

Mmmm.... nonsense.....
