What a colossal failure

Rating: 3/10 (5 November 2003)

I went into this film with an open mind. I was disappointed with reloaded, but figured this film would redeem the series. Boy, was I wrong.
I have a hard time finding anything good to say about this film. The special effects were mediocre, outside of the big battle scene, which went on way too long. The fight scenes were few and far between, and not very well filmed. Plot lines unrealistically resolved. In short, not a very good effort.
The thing that really makes the first film stand out, other than the outstanding premise, is the visual shots, and how they were framed and presented, this film has no real artistic vision. This could be any other generic Sci-Fi shoot-em-up action film, aka Battlefield Earth, Stormship Troopers, Etc. Etc. Etc.
Go see the film, you know you want to. But don't expect to see anything but ordinary film-making.
