Don't believe the hype!

Rating: 1/10 (11 September 2009)

Attended the screening at the "fantasy film festival" in Berlin. Presenters and audience were in sheer ecstasy to see this "great great movie". Newspapers praised the movie as greatest political and SciFi-Event. the trailer was really great. The setting and the plot were really good at the beginning and I was ready to witness the birth of an instant classic. But then it was totally ruined by the unbearable lead actor. He was so weak, played like he'd understand nothing and had almost no development throughout the story. He ruined the whole film. But the story line also got worse and worse. I had to leave 5 minutes before the end of the screening - and I never do this! Newspapers are still filled with just positive reviews and it's a seller at the box offices. Amazing what PR can do, and that all the critics copy from one another.
