Too 'dumbed down' for my liking

Rating: 1/10 (2 November 2012)

This is one of the worst science fiction films I've seen. I'm a big fan of Ridley Scott, and also a big fan of decent Sci Fi films, but this had absolutely nothing going for it. The story (what little there was) made no sense, people did things for no reason, there was no chemistry between any of the characters to make you care what happened to them, and nothing was explained to any satisfactory level. I enjoyed Noomi Rapace in the Millennium Trilogy, but thought her acting on this debacle left a lot to be desired, and can't quite figure out why it was important for her to (allegedly) sound more English. Not sure why Idris Elba had an extremely dodgy American accent, but at least that has happened before (in American Gangster). So much of the story didn't make any sense, that I'm annoyed by the fact that it is deemed acceptable. I am capable of figuring out quite complex stories, but had nothing to go on here. Don't bother watching this, watch paint dry instead.
