watch Brazil instead

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2011)

I am sure I am not the first one to say it - but the movie Brazil did this theme first and did it waaaaaaaay better. Movies like this try to use block buster special effects as their only selling point - but without characters you care about, a solid story you can relate to and an over all understanding of who your audience is - what you end up with is a 2 hour video game in which you are just an observer. This film actually reminded me of the miserable failure "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". If you saw that movie you'd know what I'm talking about - All special effects, no story, and no characters you care about. I actually don't want to waist my time talking to much about this movie - let's just say if all you care about is special effects (and believe me you've seen them all before) then please rush out to see "Sucker Punch" - if you are even the slightest bit interested in a movie with substance avoid this like the plague. I watched this for free and I still feel Sucker Punched.
