Terrible (One possible spoiler - line quote)

Rating: 1/10 (14 July 2012)

Take some non-entity actors and actresses, reciting wooden lines in a wooden manner, redo a story for no reason, cut corners, and what do you get? You guessed it! I wish it wasn't true, but it is. Might be a good deal at the dollar cinemas, if one has nothing else to do. The lead actor has a complete lack of presence or charisma, the special effects are drab, the supporting actors may as well be cardboard cutouts with digital recorders strapped to them. The droning subplot scene in school is so hackneyed, trotting Martin Sheen in could not hope to save it. Gee, nerdy guy with glasses shows up the school alpha male jock, and gets the pretty blonde girl - how many thousands of times have I seen this movie? And, sadly, contains a real message, advocating the dispersing of biological agents by corporations ("we could cure polio in an afternoon") to genetically modify the population without their knowledge, or approval, which is being developed in real life, To "help" us, it is said. Ack! Talk about strategic product placement. Worse even than a recent major movie about the flu.
