Bend It, Shape It...This Is Nothing New

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2013)

The Eggheads can have at it, picking away at the Time-Travel paradoxes. None of that here. After all this is a suspension of disbelief Art Form and that's that. Practically anything goes in this realm and unless you have a "Beautiful Mind" and work with a chalkboard or are some kind of Savant this stuff is only Entertainment, not Quantum or Theoretical Physics.
It's a Movie. One more made for the popcorn and sugar drink salesmen and Home Theatre types, that's it, this is not High-Art. This is not Cinema at its best. This is fantastical fluff presented as some sort of intellectual stimulation and clever storytelling. But it is a rather sloppy Shoot-Em-Up that tries to be a bit different. Despite the Critic's ravings, it is nevertheless just average.
Nothing here is new, especially the Action or the SFX. It is somewhat labored and laconic, pedestrian and plodding, with a jolt now and then of some often seen scenes of Telekinesis and remorseless wholesale slaughter shown with very little style. It is far from the creative criteria of the best of Sci-Fi and is a wholesale cribbing of better gun battles. In the end this is nothing but hyped-up Entertainment and will not stand the test of time.
