Decent film, worth a matinée but don't pay full price.

Rating: 7/10 (16 July 2004)

I have a fondness for Will Smith movies. Granted, I get to watch movies for free right now (employee benefits), but I thought it was a decent movie. The CGI in this movie is some of the most impressive work I've seen in awhile. For not one moment do you believe that the actors are staring at nothingness.
WOW factor aside, the pacing in this movie was slightly off and the entire film feels empty. The filmmaker's vision of 2035 is shiny and dull. At least there weren't any flying cars in this one. As my friend and I departed the theater, he commented on how much this movie felt like a Dune novel. I didn't see any similarities, but maybe you will.
In short, it's a decent film but only if you don't have to pay full admission.
