CGI Mess = VERY annoying overkill

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2010)

The ONLY intention of this ridiculous movie is presumably to keep you on the edge of your seat through any nonsensical means possible. Even that lone goal fails miserably. Seeing the same effects over and over again numbs the brain as much as listening to the dumbest dialogue exchanges in the history of the cinema. This movie exits in a hyper-reality where the world is like a giant video game and every plot turn defies the laws of physics and common sense. I found that to be VERY annoying.
Sorting through all the tiresome hype and relentless BS and focusing on the movie itself is refreshing at this point. The film suffers on a few fronts. One, there is little emotional connection between any of the characters (especially the limp romantic emotional misfire). Two, everything not CGI stupidity simply saps the energy gained by any action scene. Third, a lot of those action scenes scream "overkill" to me. The same ideas and effects used over and over equal boring. Think movies like 2012 or the last Mummy flick. There are flaws in logic literally from the one minute mark through the entire running time but I guess everyone expects that in most summer popcorn these days.
