smoking cliché

Rating: 6/10 (7 February 2010)

a lot of hype....3D is over rated but it is a good way to charge more (for the 3D glasses)...Directors depend too much on technology i.e. special effects, machine guns, explosions...I felt that i was watching a video game that they decided would make a good film. Not enough energy was spent on telling a story or character development...The story stays through in that the good guys win over the bad and that history repeats itself ....I am not sure why the lead scientist, a strong female, concerned about the natives, has to SMOKE...Maybe a good sum (for product placement:tobacco industry)was giving to the director to help pay for the film....even though he is said to be rich...Often films do well because there is not much else going on....and the media focuses on it....They do not give equal time to all that comes out and only (mostly)american films...
