Not what I expected from the stars but that is what makes this movie. They are both performing outside of their comfort zones and must have spent many hours memorizing the dialogue. If you love intelligent entertaining banter for most of the movie, this is phenomenally entertaining. If you like to sit back and let the special effects make your movie experience...this is not the movie for you. So sorry I missed the original release. Also, if you like to catch gaps in takes like wine glass was consumed then shows up 1/4 full...a few of those too.
