Too many binary reviews - no wonder IMDBs algorithm can't cope.

Rating: 4/10 (3 June 2019)

Few films warrant a 1 or a 10 and this is no exception. For far too many "reviewers" a 1 or a 10 seems to be the default options and I have little doubt that these exceptional scores have less weight with IMDB in producing an average.
The film is lacklustre to be polite. It's hardly terrible but given it's budget it needed to be better. The effects are generally excellent with the notable exception of the anti-aging cgi applied to make old people look younger. Don't get me wrong that cgi is the best I've seen but it's still not good enough to produce a natural looking face. It looks like a bad facelift that's robbed the victim of expression. Bree herself comes across as uninterested and confused. I appreciate her character is often confused but it comes across as more than that. I could see no reason to set this story in the recent past other than to give the aforementioned cgi a run-out.
I appreciate that a super-hero movie requires some suspension of reality on the part of the viewer to make it work but when that suspension of reality equals making a small cargo plane into a spaceship in a couple of hours with farm tools and getting into space without thousands of tonnes of fuel I just wonder what NASA has been doing all these years. Such things treat the viewer as an idiot and doing that never ends well.
Time to give up on the super-hero franchises IMO. They've worn thin. There's a million and one books crying out to be made into movies and if people keep paying to see poor efforts like this then we'll only be fed more of them.
