Movie tries to do too much but misses the punch

Rating: 6/10 (29 July 2014)

There is so much that can be done with the premise of the movie and in this movie it just feels like they are trying to do too much, but everything feels very shallow. They throw a lot of information at you in the beginning without giving you a way for it to sink in. Some of the action scenes seemed forced and there are significant plot holes. The culmination of the movie is disappointing and did not feel to me like it fit with the plot. Yet this movie is somewhat enjoyable with some scenes that are very well done. It is highly visual with a lot of effects, but I wouldn't go to see for the action scenes. The good ones seemed to be the most subtle ones.
