If only films like this could keep the low profile they pretend to have.

Rating: 1/10 (9 July 2009)

I watched this movie very well aware that I was not going to see a piece of great cinema. Everyone who sees the trailer for this film knows what he's is getting into, as did I. So placing a comment about a stupid plot, absurd action or bad acting would be silly, for those are not things one should even be hoping for with a film like this.
What you want - and what is fair to expect - is a couple of thrilling action scenes, no-nonsense dialogue, some beautiful women and a pack of bad ass hero's. Nothing more, nothing less. There is nothing wrong with this sort of film, they can be great fun.
So now the but: But, what you really do not need is a director trying to put all sorts of stuff in the movie that really have no business there - that try to deny the sort of film that it is, that pretend to be part of something much greater, that insult your intelligence as a viewer and ultimately ruin your evening because you feel lied to, deceived. You were tricked by the clear, shallow surface but stumbled into a filthy sea of sticky nothingness.
So I am really interested to know what on Gods green planet that commentary on the supposedly 'boring' life's of civilian people was doing there. And why they felt urged to have some scientific nonsense explain why there simply is a limited amount of people on earth that can do impossible things.
This film is so full of pretentious bullshit, you are continually fighting to oppress the vomit trying to spurt through you throat and all you want to do is punch someone who had anything to so with this garbage. The last line is maybe the worst ever because it completely confronts you with the fact that you've sat through nearly two hours of torture voluntary.
