Impressive at times, too much CGI, but its saving grace is the end

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2011)

The IMDb average rating for this film is fair (6.3 at the moment) It does dazzle the eyes at times, impressive CGI, but too much of it, it's not necessary to tell a good story and this is what is hindering cinema at the moment. In 1992 when it was new, T2 was cutting edge, but now CGI is everywhere, I prefer the puppet Yoda not the CGI one, too much CGI for me, got bored with it to tell you the truth.
However interlaced within the unnecessary CGI is a bit of dialogue and story, and this is a decent premise, it tells it's story similar to Inception almost, except instead of a dream the 'fantasy world' is a metaphoric world. It started well and ended well, very well in fact, this was when the film was set in 'reality' if only they had interspersed more 'reality' moments this film could have been a lot better, they could have lost one of the CGI segments and peppered in more 'reality' moments that were happening in conjunction with the 'fantasy' moments, this could have made the film 9 or 10, as it had that potential.
I do believe though that this film was marketed for a certain demo-graph, and so it probably does them well, but we, the people like films that are universal, and so although a good film all things considered, I will definitely watch again! Let it be known though I am a bit of a Grinch when it comes to CGI (that is CRAP GRAPPLING INCOME) I even found Iron Man 2 boring because of it, they can by all means use it but there has to be a limit, especially if the crap grappling income is used at the expense of character development and what could have been decent dialogue. End of story.
