Visually amazing, but ultimately uninspired

Rating: 6/10 (12 June 2013)

this movie seems stunning in terms of cinematography and filming technology. With better scenario and dialogs, it could have been a very good movie. But, it was completely predictable, and fancy special effects alone do not make a good movie. Not once are you surprised by the turn of events in this movie, and there's so many bad movie clichés in it, and so many things that just doesn't make any sense at all. Do not go and see it for the plot and writing. The plot is a monumentally formulaic "be a good friend and partner" riff. We have seen all the characters before in a hundred other films !
Taking everything into account, the movie is beautiful, but it feels like the main goal was to show off the effort of special effect wizards. The movie would have benefited from more detailed characters, and a less boring and predictable plot.
