excellent review, i had the same view as well, i am very optimistic that the sequel will be better and more unanswered questions will be elaborated and answered, noomi repace, charlize theron and micheal fassbender were as good as i expected. the visuals were top notch but the tension wasnt as what i expected. it could have been more improved and they could have made the movie 2 hours and 30 minutes..and audiences would have been satisfied. 3d is great but a more solid presentation in terms of storytelling would make the movie ticket much worth it.
