Entertaining but predictable

Rating: 7/10 (13 August 2013)

Best thing about this movie--Jodie Foster's calves.
No real explanation of how we humans messed up Earth so royally--guess we are just supposed to assume it's the result of our evil ways of life in 2013.
Whether it was me, or the sound system in the theater, or the movie itself--and I suspect the latter--I found much of the dialogue difficult to understand. There were subtitles for some non-English conversations, but others were just too muffled/mumbled/spoken to fast/too much background noise/whatever. It didn't really matter as the plot line was very predictable, but still suspenseful.
I had to come to this site to see who played "Young Max"--was surprised to see he is NOT related to Matt Damon. Great physical match-up. That part of the story reminded me of "Slum Dog Millionaire." Special effects were good, shooting and fight scenes predictably unrealistic. Why are these guys in the movies almost always such bad shots? As for social commentary, I did not read much into that.
