Unbearable

Rating: 1/10 (21 October 2014)

This is unbearable nonsense combined with irritating action scenes. The film is a continuous insult to the audience's intelligence. We see it makes no sense, but the film insists that YOU are just being stupid for not seeing the sense in it. And then it proceeds to throw even more nonsense at you until you give up trying to make sense out of it. But here's the problem: if I give up caring, why am I watching? Well, some get up and leave the theater. Others wait for the action scenes and the CGI display. Then again, these scenes make no sense either. As time goes by they become longer and longer. Endless fist fighting in scenes where everyone seems almost indestructible. Why do I care that a character is being thrown at the wall if I know it won't hurt him? And why do they use fists? Why not detonate a bomb? Who knows... And who cares?
The sequels, however, get even worse. Now that the novelty has worn off, they give you more of the same old nonsense, but they turn up the volume to 11. More fight scenes, more CGI, more nonsense... They keep introducing new characters in order to maintain the illusion that there is a plot here. But there is no plot. These are silly diversions. And can anyone endure the pseudo-philosophical talk? It's unbearable.
But let's get to the political message. No, I'm kidding. I'm not going there. But if you haven't understood it, what's the point of me telling you anything?
I will say though, that I do not wish to be a part of the kind of humanity the film depicts, even if we never get to fight evil machines. There are worse things than machines in this world.
