Meh. Much more romance than anything else. I like more weird in my fantasy, a whole lot more science in my science fiction. There's no reason at all this couldn't have been set in the modern day, and it fits the whole RWA formula to a tee.

"A brilliantly robust science-fantasy tale, featuring a scarred, directionless Vietnam war veteran who answers a newspaper ad (remember those?) asking simply “Are you a coward?”. A rambunctious swashbuckling adventure where magic and science are blurred. Also, the story that sent me off to find a gym."

Intelligent science fiction
This film is a linguist's dream. Finally an intelligent sci-fi showing the importance of communication in understanding others. It's beautifully shot and it mixes a bit of a Nolan style mystery into it. It is slightly inconceivable at times but that's the premise of a science fiction film.
