Yes. Commander Yao explaining bravery to Grace.

Great movie.

- Not a stupid DC Marvel superhero movie with the same plot.
- Not a sequel milking a dead cow.
- Not a needless remake.
- Didn't substitute special effects for plot.
- No gun fetishism.
- No endless boring sex scenes.
- No tedious romantic angst.
- No one dimensional bad guy.
- Proper science fiction without 'prophecies to be fulfilled' or 'chosen ones'.

Excellent movie version of an excellent book.
I hope they never make a sequel.

Throw in friends (and enemies) for all three generations, and start filming.
