Decent entertainment

Rating: 6/10 (4 January 2010)

I had very high expectations walking into the movie theater before watching this movie, but I have to say that I was disappointed (probably because my expectations were too high). On the positive side, the movie is somewhat exciting and has good special effects as well as action scenes. For example, the action scenes around that huge tree was awe-inspiring. On the negative side it is filled with clichés and is shockingly predictable and unoriginal. The obvious reference to the current climate debate is just another example of politically correct, self loathing on part of the materialistic lifestyle of rich people in the world. I won't spoil the ending, but don't expect any surprises, because the movie basically tells you what is going to happen at the end by using obvious foreshadowing techniques. The love story is nothing new either.
I would still recommend that people watch it so that they can make up their own minds.
