Doesn't live up to expectations

Rating: 2/10 (19 February 2007)

After watching the trailers, I couldn't wait to see this movie. I am always keen to see interesting visions of humanity in the future. I treat the average rating at IMDb only as a reference, but it reached 8/10 stars and many highly enthusiastic reviews screamed: "Go see it!". So, I went to the cinema packed with ultra-high expectations.
It is the first time in years I LITERALLY felt asleep during a movie. Only for a short moment, though, but it wasn't that late! There is little dialogue, some scenes beg to be shorter. I liked Clive's performance in "The inside man" but this time he seemed kind of "detached" from the movie. Like he got there absolutely by chance. The storyline is not quite interesting. The abrupt and less then intriguing ending didn't appeal to me either. Apart from the cinematography, there is nearly nothing to admire.
The idea was good but the chance to craft a solid movie was lost. It won't be a great loss if you skip this movie at all.
