Don't believe the marketing shills, avoid, avoid this utter waste

Rating: 1/10 (6 September 2009)

This is not an allegory about racism, not any kind of novel sci-fi concept, and not the 44th best movie ever made. It is a waste of film and an insult to any objective viewer.
Instead of walking out, I stuck around to see just how deep the layers of nonsense and vapidity could go on this smelly onion. The layers go deep, all the way to the nothingness where the core should be. There is no kernel of truth, wit or cool in this monstrous failure. It is hard to single out the problems with the movie because literally every concept in the film is either outright stupid, banal or utterly nonsensical.
At first blush, one might think that a child wrote this script, and that a child directed the movie. But then you wonder how a child would conceptualize concentration camps or some of the social relations, and you finally realize that adults must have been responsible. Retarded adults, mentally stunted adults, but adults nonetheless.
It's as if some CGI factory came up with the prawn costume, and this was the best concept the money men could come up with to put the costume to use.
There is one possibility, that the film was made as rubbish on purpose so that the inevitable sequel could shine in comparison. A retarded idea, yes, but one has to watch only a little of this movie to realize that most of the budget was spent on marketing and none was spent on writing or concept work.
This movie will hurt your brain. I had intended to stay at the theater and see another movie, but my aesthetic sensibilities and intelligence were so assaulted by this dreck that I had to just come on home.
IMDb, police thyself. The time has come for you to step up and stop the co-opting of this once very useful site. People will be fooled for awhile longer, but the end of your credibility is nigh if measures aren't taken. Stop allowing this site to become the pawn (or in this movie's case, the "prawn") of marketing shills. It's disgraceful what this site has become.
