Finally saw it last night, the visuals were amazing, but the story was meh.
The blatantly political parts of the dialogue were jarring. 'Fight terror with terror', 'shock and awe' - really? It just served to yank me out of the movie and it was unnecessary. I also found the bad guys too unbelievable (especially the colonel when the early part of the movie had humanized him) to really feel much during the attack on home tree. It was also weird to realize just how poorly equipped the marines were for the moon considering the length of time they had been there (you would think they would have requested higher caliber guns).
All in all, very good effects and visuals, but the story could have been much better.
