Old plots re-booted as new

Rating: 3/10 (4 August 2014)

This was not dissimilar to watching an old Rambo/Schwarzenegger 'shoot em up' action flick where the body count soars as the story and dialogue plummets. Sure there's lots of CGI chaff to distract you from the basic premise, which has been overused in better movies. It lacks the wit and originality of Avengers and great series like Star Trek Next Gen and Firefly. The acting is dire and the plot so predictable I walked out a good 45 mins before the end. Watch it and weep. I got the feeling that this is the type of film which will appeal to hyperactive 12 yr old boys who are into computer games and little else. When will Hollywood realize that expensive FX driven, soul-less films are great box office but little else.
