More mediocrity than "Armageddon" and "The Net" combined

Rating: 3/10 (30 June 2014)

This movie had nearly as much contrived heroism and maudlin emotion as "Armageddon" and nearly the same goofy-damsel-in-despair as Sandra Bullock's earlier movies but without quite convincing me that it was an acceptable use of my 82 minutes. Thank goodness it wasn't any longer. WTF were the Cuarons trying to do with this? Did they add anything? I couldn't tell. I guess George Clooney added his winning smile and another big name on the marquis. The only good thing I can say about this movie is that it had a few sequences decent action. All things considered, though, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except for 13-year-old girls who are hardcore fans of both "Armageddon" and Sandra Bullock.
