I am loving how brave it is in tackling properly weighty themes, having not got far enough to establish story arcs beyond the gap in Sinclair's memory, which I assume is responsible for his inability to be remotely convincing or interesting.
I am not loving the CG, although I accept that it just hasn't aged well, or the insistence on sidelining much of the cast in favour of the three central characters, none of whom are remotely captivating. Or can act. At all.
