Good concept, but a waste of a great opportunity

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 2011)

I give a 7/10 to a good movie, but this is not a good movie. Like the Curates Egg; it is good in parts. The CGI was not nearly as good as I was expecting from the hype; major disappointment. The technology was not quite ready. This is a movie that should have been made a few years from now, when the CGi will be perfected. The CGi is a crutch for the whole movie; without it, this film would flop like a jellyfish. Acting; awful. Dialogue; atrocious. Writing; childish. The plot-holes have been well documented elsewhere. Wait for this to come up on your TV schedule; it is not worth going out of your way to see. The only thing of interest is to see where the sequel goes from here, and how they knit it into the pre-existing classics.
