This film is about a time in the near future, when humans have to fight against an alien creature called Pandora.
The story is tense throughout, and there is little down time. The story is pretty good, and the visual effects are convincing. The leads Louis Koo and Carina Lau are good. Though I find the little girl a little contrived and annoying, as she repeats the same line over and over. I understand why she is placed in the film, but I don't find it very effective in driving emotions of the plot. I must say that I watched three Hong Kong films back to back, and I was impressed by all three. It is pleasing to see that a Hong Kong film achieves such high standard!
