Oh dear another disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (13 March 2018)

What is it these days - the directors seem more interested in the style over the content of movies.
Started well, some nice set pieces and the visuals and aural soundscape were well done but the story was another kindred to the awful "Arrival" where us ordinary folks just didnt get it apparently.
It was slow and lugubrious with the only things of interest being the colourful visuals and very little story, character development or acting ability - I hate to disagree but I have always found Natalia Portman to be insipid and utterly without merit as an actress and most of the rest of the cast were forgettable too - Now Michelle Rodriguez or many other talented actresses I could mention would have blown this lot out of the water and actually made the film more enjoyable.
So us "not as intelligent as you Scifi experts just didnt get it" - Not really its typical of the Anal Sci-Fi brigade that believe if you didnt understand the movie or "get it" then you are just not part of the cognoscenti of Scifi nerdula! Some of the reviews on here with their pontification much like the ones on "Arrival" really make me laugh!
If you have nothing to say then tis' better to say nothing and this movie said absolutely nothing to me at all. Such a disappointment too as I was hoping for something but with Portman being the lead actress that kinda set the scene for this overhyped "Butterfly Effect" short story and movie ripoff. Been done before and much better with less money!
