I went to the theatre with a friend Tuesday, and saw the movie for the first time. I have to say that it met my expectations; for all hype that was given to it. It made $30.5 million domestic ticket sales on opening weekend but its hope was it to make $35 to $40 million. It fell short of the 5 million to make its goal. However, the general opinion about the movie is that writer-director Neill Blomlamp did a fantastic job making another science-fiction fable of the future and mankind's darkness and hope (after his Best Picture-nominated District 9, that was releases in 2009.)

I truly enjoyed the movie and would definitely recommend to anyone would loves action and science-fiction. It is a much see before the summer's end.
