Shallow, Pedestrian
Strip away the beautiful scenery and what's left is a shallow, pedestrian take on...nothing. There isn't a well-drawn character in the bunch. The movie is ostensibly about Ethan "hole-in-a-movie" Hawk's transformation from a wounded, lovelorn child into a do-the-right-thing man, but the moral dilemma he resolved was trivial, and 90% of human beings, ... would have resolved it in the same way, but a lot sooner and with less grief for others.
