Mind Candy for the Adolescent.

Rating: 3/10 (25 December 2010)

OK I'll admit it, I'm probably out of the demographic that this movie is aiming at and my vote would probably have been much higher if I was still in my teens, but I'm not, so I didn't.
Maybe I've matured abit, maybe I'm simply getting too old, but a CGI fest mindlessly tied to a pointless story, backed by indifferent actors and put together by a director who seems more focused on the bottom line than anything else just does not do it for me any more.
When I watch a movie and simply do not care who dies, or what gets destroyed and as a result all the explosions and action are reduced to a glorified screen saver no matter how pretty or realistic they are, when I leave the theatre or switch the bluray player regretting the time I've just wasted, I know a movie has failed to engaged me.
