Great effects, but nothing special in the story.

Rating: 6/10 (13 December 2011)

I shall try to keep this review as concise and short as possible.
1. The visual effects are simply stunning. Simply wonderful . I liked it more than i liked Avatar special effects. 2. The characters are complex and emotions are displayed wonderfully. 3. But... , the story is quite unconvincing, in fact i would say its disappointing. 4. Nothing really happens in the story, its the same pace right from beginning till the end. 5. There is no connection why the boy is so interested in the metal robot, or why the old man wasn't recognized even though he had directed so many movies. 6. The movie really failed to capture my attention. and the story really doesn't add up to make any sense.
Watch the movie for the special effects, but a fair warning that the pace is very slow.
All my starts are for the visual effects.
