Even worse than I imagined

Rating: 2/10 (25 July 2014)

Wow. I watched this not expecting much, but was still disappointed. This movie is incredibly bad. So devoid of substance it could be a Michael Bay movie. Sorry, that's not entirely correct: Michael Bay movies have more of a semblance of a plot.
What a mess. Calling the plot "random" flatters it. If Zack Snyder had a plan, it is not obvious. At best he was trying to make Girl Interrupted meets Lara Croft meets Inception. That's how muddled it is.
More likely, like Michael Bay, Zack Snyder was just trying to show off his CGI and explosion-making skills. Screw the plot.
Either that or this is the longest ever advert for a first-person- shooter computer game.
Performances from Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish and Jena Malone aren't bad though, especially considering how little they had to work with.
Avoid like the plague.
