Visually stunning, utterly boring

Rating: 3/10 (7 August 2015)

So much hype. So little substance.
Do not let the opening minutes fool you. Within fifteen minutes we feel like we're in for a fantastic journey with our heroines, a movie that might have something to say.
But this is not the case. We proceed through a series of beautiful set pieces which do nothing but establish the invulnerability of our heroines. Where we want to discover more about our characters, we only go through the motions of risking nothing and gaining nothing.
Sure, the ideas are cool, and the special FX department throw a whole host of teenage boyhood fantasies at us. That our heroines brush them aside so quickly renders them meaningless.
Fantastic visuals. Amazing cinematography. Great sound and music. Empty nothing at the end if the day.
