Condemend + Cast Away + First season of Lost

Rating: 2/10 (12 April 2012)

I'm 33 and had no intentions of watching this film until my 12 year old daughter begged me. First off what's up with the shaky camera, the thing was going all over the place and was making my dizzy, at one point i thought my coke a cola was spiked. I was busy glancing side to side to keep up with the screen. Action is blurred, not sure what's going on in the fight scenes maybe due to the PG-13. But don't expect any good action out of this. Character Development...non existent, okay who are these dozens of kids again. People will pop up randomly only to never be seen from again. What's the purpose, why is this world the way it is...i never discover that? Even though the following three films / shows aren't the best you are better off with them, as this is tailored to lower high school and below audiences....
Condemend - similar themed, more action, more purpose. a group of inmates are selected to duke it out on an island for a game show.
Cast Away - More development in Mr. Wilson the 4 year volleyball friend of Tom Hanks. Again no character development in the hunger, I'd rather watch Tom Hanks talk to his volleyball on an island for 2hrs, than to watch 23 teens randomly pop in frame then disappear. I don't know who to root for or why....and you know what i would root for Wilson hands down!!! Oh and also it seems like i'm only dealing with the main character throughout the story and everyone else is just a prop.
First Season of Lost - Why because you are completely lost with a lot of the unexplained events. Remember those deadly tornado death machine things....What's with the "numbers". Same thing here, also there are going to be a lot of random things that are conveniently written to move the story forward in the protagonists favor..ala lost.
Anyway I'm sure the books are better, this is just Hollywood using it's get rich quick formula...slap together a film based on a popular teen book (ala twilight) get some cool youngster eye candies on the screen for the boy and girl dreamers out there. throw in some romance to hook them and there you go 200 million in global sales, before the audience realizes they have been dupped. Slap in 80 million in bluray sales after about 3 months at the theaters.
