Poor engineer job

Rating: Null/10 (24 August 2015)

The thing most glaringly shown here is this, there is nothing real surrounding the making of such a film, it's not centered in commitment to anything; so the whole thing is size that commands attention and does nothing better with that attention than scatter it with slapdash noise.
It's one cg environment after another erupting around familiar faces in costume. It's kiddie stuff in the most simple sense; kids don't care how their playing amounts to a world, that's something that happens (or doesn't) as they make bumping noises.
Nothing here matters so when we get snark lest we take it too serious, that begs the question. What could we take serious here? People are shot with lasers and walk it off, a whole district is torn down as Iron Man and the Hulk duke it out but that's just the video game background. This was a main issue the Nolans pored over in their Bat work, how to create a world where choices have gravity.
The whole is bloodless (in the other sense), has no reality of any kind, no sense of world. It all crunches together every few minutes in heaps of plastic image, everything fake-looking. Faces, jokes, are crammed in but that's just more debris scattered about. Even the main dilemma in the story, about do we try to make everything safe or do we lose ourselves in the process is the exact same mechanical cog bandied around from one Marvel film to the other.
The Expendables is a nadir in worldbuilding these days as far as I'm concerned, this is close behind.
