A mess

Rating: 6/10 (2 September 2007)

This movie was beautiful to look at, thanks once again to Rick Heinrichs. Unfortunately, the plot is a mess, and none of the character's motivations - save perhaps Cpt. Sparrow's - make any sense whatsoever. It's hard to explain without spoilers, but as you watch this film, pick any character and ask yourself, what is he or she after, what are their goals and why? Add to that a lot of "boy that was convenient" sort of moments, and you begin to ask yourself, how good a script was this to begin with? On the up side, the acting is decent, the effects are great, and there is even some humor. Just don't try to figure out why anything that happens matters.
