Insipid film but with a couple redeeming qualities

Rating: 4/10 (19 May 2016)

I found the film to be insipid. The acting is above average but the science poor (that didn't factor into my low rating of the movie though). It's a movie and isn't supposed to be realistic. It's certainly more of a fantasy movie than a science fiction movie though because of the poor science. Again, that's okay but hopefully people don't think this movie reflects any sort of science reality.
As for the script - it's mediocre - as is the editing (e.g., cutting back and forth to animals or other people, etc.). The cinematography is one of the redeeming qualities of the film (but hindered by unnecessary cuts to close-ups or animals). The other are Johansson and Freeman (who both try to make the best of a vacuous script). The film is not Besson's best work (Leon: The Professional was excellent and the Fifth Element was a visual feast but little else). This movie had a lot of potential but fell far short.
