Watchable but not amazing! 6/10

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2014)

Review: This film wasn't as bad as I thought that it would be, but it's not a classic. It's quite a average supernatural movie that the has a backdrop of the future, but it's not very rememberable. I found the ending quite abrupt and I was hoping for a little twist, which just doesn't happen. It comes from the makers of District 9, which was a much better movie, but thats not to say that this is totally bad. I found Jodie Fosters voice a bit strange, but she just doesn't seem to age. If it wasn't for the eccentric baddie, who makes the movie, I don't think that the film would have been half as good. Some of the action scenes were quite good and the director did made use of CGI pretty well. In all its a watchable movie but nothing to get excited about.
Round-Up: Matt Damon puts in an average performance and he just seems to be pretty moody throughout the movie. This film won't hurt his career, but he won't get remembered for it like the Bourne franchise. Jodie Foster doesn't really star in that many movies, so I'm surprised that she took this role. I think that it was the hugely respected District 9 that made all of the actors rush to work with the director. The baddie, Sharlto Copley, who also starred in District 9 and the the A-Team, was great and surprisingly better than Matt Damon, which was due to his character. It does look a lot like District 9, but you can see that the director is dealing with a much bigger budget.
Budget: $115million Worldwide Gross: $286million
I recommend this movie to people who are into there supernatural movies about the future and the divide between the rich and the poor. 6/10
