Ridley Scott directs a Micheal Bay film

Rating: 4/10 (21 August 2016)

This film sucks. Need I say more? I do? Really? Well then, I guess we are on different pages of this textbook. Look, this movie is boring. It's a nonstop action sequence, sure, but it's not exciting because the action scenes are not creative, the characters are undeveloped, and the pacing is all over the place. The film has a grain filter that crushes blacks and gives every scene a green tint to it. I guess the best way to explain it is that it looks the way a Michael Bay film would. Watch Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys 2, the Transformers movies. They all have the exact same filter that this movie has on, and they are all ugly looking. The action is more coherent than in a Micheal Bay movie, as you can actually see what is going on, but that doesn't make it any better. The action in this movie is so... labored, rudimentary. It's... Dull. Okay? I was bored for the entirety of this film's 140 minute run time. Another circle jerk America film that surprisingly isn't directed by Michael Bay. 4 out of 10 for a film I refuse to watch again.
