Overrated piece of cinematography

Rating: 3/10 (28 September 2009)

Once upon a time a movie comes out, which captures the attention of many, long before it gets released. After capturing attention of many, such a movie delivers what it promised earlier, leaving everyone with a feeling of time well spent. You go home, thinking that you just saw a piece of cinematography, that is going to be remembered.
What a grave disappointment i had to face after watching this! We all got used to movies being not exactly what we thought after watching the first trailer. After all, trailers are marketing tools, designed to attract the attention to the product, commercials so to speak, by their very nature. This thing, for the lack of more suitable expression, is nothing but a masterfully presented piece of recycled trash.
Why? Read on..
Presented as: fictional documentary scenario from a possible near future Reality: The only thing that reminded me of a documentary in this P.O.T. (piece of trash) was the shaky camera movements. The plot is lousy, too many times seen story of a man saving his species, only this time, with a small, insignificant twist. One star is for trying to present a picture of real life conditions in slums.
Acting is good, not excellent, but good. Characters poor written, "arch enemy" has no real reason to hate the "hero", story is nothing new, for those who think otherwise, watch any alien invasion movie, swap aggressive aliens for assertive and voilà..., computer generated imagery excels, for those who think this makes a good movie, go watch it, you won't be disappointed (my second star), plot is utterly unrealistic, taking in consideration the fact, that its an alien movie, hero is a typical opportunist character (you wont like him.. my third star).
There isn't much more to write about this P.O.T, i hope you enjoyed reading this review, any comments will be much appreciated, after all, this is my very first review, and if it spares even one person from huge disappointment, it'll serve its purpose.
Yours, d0omed.
