Cola and popcorn

Rating: 4/10 (9 November 2015)

I started watching this movie with no idea what's it about or even what genre it is. The beginning was quite promising although the clips with animals seemed somewhat clumsy or inelegant way to get ideas across. I still expected a decent, adult movie. S. Johansson's acting seemed bad and I wondered if she was chosen because of her looks or because of her fame, but as the story progressed it all started to make sense. It's a teen movie, a typical Hollywood superhero flick for paying masses who JUST want to eat candy and popcorn and drink carbonated sugar water while being lightly entertained. Although IMHO the movie is not very entertaining... A sci-fi movie doesn't mean that viewer has to automatically suspend all disbelief and there's nothing more to expect than special effects and two-dimensional superheroes. Just take "Perfect sense" as an example - there can be layers, thought and so on. In contrast this one just had some stuff sprinkled on it that made it look like it might have some thought and ideas behind it, but at closer look there's nothing really there. It's like the snacks and drinks sold in the cinemas that taste and smell like something edible but are mostly artificial and not really good for you. Despite being fake they sell and bring in the profit, and my guess is so did this movie.
