Way too slow for a blockbuster action movie

Rating: 4/10 (27 July 2014)

I'm watching this movie right now and trying to pace myself through my Sunday whiskey-and-sodas. This film is so slow and boring; much of it is devoted to panning through the faces and dialogue of angst-ridden characters in a desolate 22nd century landscape (or whatever sad future era this is). The rest is nonsensical. The characters are pretty flat and the little plot is setup for future blockbuster sequels. We all get that the future of mankind is bleak. This has been covered by thousands of books and movies before this one, with no sign of slowing. I'm just glad I won't be around for 22nd century cinema, if this is the type of film that gets an 80+% rating on spoiled potatoes.
