Disappointing

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2006)

I have to say that I was very disappointed in this film, though I had very high expectations. Clive Owen just doesn't do it in this one, It all just seems so phony, fake and sometimes even ridiculous. I just think this one tried a little too hard to be futuristic, but just didn't quite do it. It began really great, but it wasn't good enough to engage me for so long. However, there are a few good performances: Julianne Moore does a great job, so does legend Michael Caine, and they are really helping to raise the level of the film. I know it must be very hard to make a film that takes place in the future, but hey, War of the Worlds did it! Well, anyway, if you don't have anything better to do, you could see it. But I would rather recommend Dreamgirls or Rocky Balboa.
