The movie has it flaws and is not even close to been called a masterpeice. However is the movie good and I would have to say yes the story is fairly compelling and the characters are easy to get attached to. The design team did a great job on making the world feel alive. The writters made the science that occured feel realaistic and that it that the time shift was something that was a part of the world and not just thrown in for plot purposes. If you want Have nearly 2hrs to spare I would recommed that you check the movie out
