Mostly an effects movie...

Rating: Null/10 (26 January 2012)

The problem with technical genius is that geniuses fall in love with technical details. And this is the ultimate in Cameron tehnicality. Hence, so much more effort went into making the movie look and sound good than plot development. Apparently, no one wanted moviegoers to be thinking about characters and plot while saying wow about the visual experience.
No need to worry about spoilers but let's just say I could rattle off twenty plus titles that are the clichés in this movie. Considering what they were given to work with, the actors were more than adequate. Although I'd say the lack of any real script development is probably what prevented really big stars from participating.
Really sad as Cameron has shown skill in giving us great technical effects with original story. Sadly, this is not one of them so it has the expiration date of the next big breakthrough in effects which will make this an undesirable movie to rewatch. So enjoy it while it's still kind of "new" because once it's old hat, NO ONE will be digging this up to watch again.
