like "Starship Troopers" without the fun...

Rating: Null/10 (1 February 2014)

wow, what an uninspiring and bland movie.
after being on the fence about watching it at all, i finally took the plunge. i should have listened to my instincts.
the best comparison i can make is to "Starship Troopers" but without any of the humor, without the biting satire, without cool creature effects and with child soldiers instead of adolescents.
what's left over is a soulless Hollywood product that, while looking gorgeous, only manages to elicit yawns.
i know we are all starved for halfway decent science fiction, but this one should be skipped.
5/10
