a somewhat typical setting for a sci-fi flick; future/space-ships/local space bar/club.
the plot takes off from the first minutes in the film.
they are in space and come across an enemy. details emerge from here to about 2/3rds onto who wants what, why they want it.
there are battles, character development, and some nice surprise quirks throughout the movie.
one grand finale, with a bit of a twist, brings you to the close.
SO if I were writing review hoping Scavengers would break new ground, compete on a playing field with George Lucas in one corner and James Cameron in another, I would be furiously typing about the lack of 3-d, in movie ad placement, and high dollar cg.
THANKfully that is not the basis of my review and score. this is a film made to be a casual, in home experience. there is enough indi element to keep the movie fresh and personal compared to the Hollywood Juggernaut type cg based film. also there is enough true Hollywood experience and craftsmanship to make this film beautiful to watch and believable (with a small amount of imagination).
