Well... The CGI's fun, at least!

Rating: 5/10 (2 April 2017)

This movie has a promising first half with some exciting CGI sequences (not perfect but still pleasing to the eye), a fast pace, and an easily discernible plot. Towards the midway point however, the movie slows down considerably. We're driving everywhere lugging along this mother/daughter combo, Cage keeps getting asked questions by the entire cast but for some reason refuses to answer them, the world riots in about 6 minutes. It simultaneously feels both slow and rushed at the same time. The subplot involving Cage's dad is totally unnecessary. (Sidenote: Cage's sister does an atrocious job of hiding that Australian accent of hers, woof!) Cage is fairly subdued as far as his acting goes. His child actor son isn't exactly the best. The CGI scenes are pretty much the only thing holding this movie up when it's all said and done. Feel free to pass on this one if you haven't seen it.
