Nothing More Than A 3D Spectacle

Rating: 3/10 (29 December 2015)

This movie was made for 1 reason and 1 reason only, to look really good in 3D. Take away the 3D and the big screen of the theater and you don't have a movie left, you have a bunch of action sequences and special effects. That's it. I personally can't see 3D and I saw this movie on cable. The amount of stuff flying at you in this movie really took me out of the viewing experience. Seriously, everything was just coming at you (not in 3D, just on the screen), to the point where I kept saying to myself "This sequence was shot just to be shown in 3D, there is no other point." There is almost no plot or character development at all. It's all action, not substance. After a while it's like eating too much sugar, you just get sick of it. I was bored and annoyed the whole time. If I saw it in 3D and in the theater, I may have loved it, but honestly the true test of an actual movie is if you take those away, does it hold up, and sadly, I can say, this does not.
