The mythology of this movie struck more than the general story or acting: I was quick to notice the similarities between this movie and Milton's Paradise lost and almost instantaneously latched onto the undertone of searching for a vague remedy to death as a form of trying to bypass the search for either Paradise or Purgatory.
Looking at the movie from a normal bend, it isn't that interesting, as they for some odd reason try to shoe horn a number of forgettable characters into meaningful plots. Instead, it would have been much more interesting to see the travel of one specific character from perhaps the position of ignorance into searching for the meaning behind the history, the nearly eons old story that was suggested by the opening sequence.
Which is what happened near the end (she goes off to search for Paradise, Heaven, the home of our Gods essentially) and hopefully they'll cut out the cruft for the sequel...
Hopefully.
