Weak storyline, not sci-fi

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2014)

Calling this a sci-fi is a stretch. The story line is artificially cooked up to suit the action, effects are so-so (for this day and age) . Its more of a mindless action movie.
The brawn and violence is made to shock, rather than entertain. But after a few scenes it gets quickly repetitive and boring. They tried to interject some scientific narrative in between with an academic backdrop as if that will lend it some credence, but it falls awfully short. Some of the effects are so wild and unexplained they might belong in a Hulk movie. Johannsen's performance is mediocre, she could easily have been replaced by any average actress. She has one part where she talks to her mom and some emoting is needed, but like the rest of the movie it just comes across as plainly artificial. I could hear some of the audience going 'oh please!'.
