not bad, but not great

Rating: 6/10 (23 June 2009)

The main problem with this movie is the story and lack of character development. The director isn't sure who should be the "star" of the movie: connor or the machine. For some reason, the director chose not to inform us of what connor did which would explain why he is no longer the leader of the resistance. and you really don't get a good backstory on the machine. the story hops back and forth between both the machine and connor and never develops both. And honestly, none of the characters were really developed. also, like most have already posted, you see how the ending is going to play out 10 mins before we get there.
I will say that the action is OK (i would have liked to see tons more machines) but the sound is AWESOME. this could be a DVD buy just for the sound alone. probably won't be good for those who live in apartments.
Lastly, to all the Bale haters.....get over yourselves. If you see how intensly he played the role you would think you would understand why he had the outburst. but no, you just want to slobber over all other bloggers who want to make a name for themselves. he delivered a great performance given the material he was provided to work with.
