More of the same

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2011)

I watched the movie in 2D. It was decent. All the talk about how amazing the final hour was, it didn't live up to my expectations. There were flashes of brilliance here and there, but it didn't really elevate the whole action sequence.
Story-wise, it is as bad as the previous two movies. Things just happen in the nick of time, coincidences drive the plot, etc. But this time, there are a few twists to make it slightly more interesting.
Comedy-wise, some parts were damn right funny as hell. The jokes that involve robots didn't work, but the wackiness of the new human characters adds to the funny bits. Alan Tudyk is easily the funniest of the bunch.
The action bits featured in the trailer are actually most of the highlights of the action in the movie. Due to the use of 3D cameras in filming the movie, the fast cuts and camera shake that were prevalent in the first two movies are gone. The action is much more discernible. Overall, it is more of the same. If you give this movie a miss, you're not missing much.
