Matt daemon shadows all his co-actors, making them seem like ambient noise.

Rating: 6/10 (21 August 2013)

I will try to remain as objective as possible. I entered the film expecting an epic sci-fi thriller that would be re-watched for years to come. instead turned out to be hyped mediocre film, sic-fi with poor story,forgettable characters, and no surprises in plot. However the action sequence is pretty cool for the few seconds they lasted. some nice visual effects including an awesome over the top futuristic shield, and of course a mans entire face wiped off in real time. apart from these couple of moments nothing was memorable.
The main issue for me was that Matt daemon is a huge star and you have a hard time being immersed given that you know he is gonna escape any situation. Moreover he has SOOOO much screen time 90% is about him, if i didn't know any better i would say it's a documentary about him. In other words the story has poor character development, they never tell us anything about anyone else.... poor backgrounds makes me not care about the characters when something dramatic happens to them, because they are just like random people you don't know enough to feel for them.
If I may I would like to compare this movie to a movie from the same genre "Sunshine" was a sci fi, released in 2007 had amazing character development all the characters where on equal footing none to famous you never knew who the main character was, which made it so thrilling to watch as events unfold every minutes you learn something about the character. in conclusion if you want a decent sci fi for years to come watch sunshine.
