Very disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (5 August 2011)

I had no idea how disappointing this film was going to be... someone must have rigged the rating ahead of its release. Wish I could get those hours back. Hoping I can spare others the pain with this review.
Science: completely implausible, often laughable Character development: patchy and contradictory Motivations: fake and unbelievable CGI: brilliant! The only saving grace of the film Music: incredibly predictable, without any subtlety, was jarring a lot Acting: very ordinary Overall this film has underestimated the intelligence of its viewers or perhaps it didn't care for patronising. Or film makers thought all movie goers are really quite stupid.
For those who are used to sci-fi, even reasonably OK sci-fi, this is bound to be a big disappointment: it's crude, implausible and cringe worthy throughout. The premise and the CGI could have propelled this film further if it wasn't bogged down by bad screenplay, bad dialogue, bad acting, bad music and maltreatment of every sacred tenet of good sci-fi. The plot appeals to emotions but leaves the intellect starving.
