Visually impressive but the plot is transparent and as old as film itself

Rating: 5/10 (6 March 2010)

Looked good from start to finish, some nice touches to it but then the cartoon character army grunt with the shaven head and silly scars, the nerdy boss who doesn't care (or does he!) and the ridiculous way in which the film is fast tracked at the end to see the poor little natives fight back against corporate...anyone, I'd stopped caring by that point as was looking for the exit but everything was blurry. Damn those gasses! The one question I have: How come their arrows bounced off the ships at the beginning and then tore through them like a hot knife through butter at the end? I'll tell you how...it's called cheesy ending and it's a pre-req for anything that is going to go to the box office. Don't worry about detail or reality, just make sure the sickly sweet save the day and the baddies all wear black and look nasty.
It's good to watch because of the visuals, but try to avoid eating anything beforehand in case the ending brings it back up for you.
