I'm not a huge critic of movies, meaning it doesn't take a whole lot to please me on a movie, but this was one of the poorest movies I have seen in a while.
The biggest problem was that the movie never seemed to reach a climax. The plot was going along (slowly) and it was all of a sudden over. No exciting turning point in the movie, no suspenseful buildup, it just finished.
Effects and visuals were good, but this movie proved to me that visuals are not enough to make a good movie. There were so many different ways they could have gone with the plot to make it interesting, but none of the subplots were followed through on - they were just introduced and passed over. It felt to me like they were trying to fit the movie in a designated time slot, so they had to cut out all the good parts.
From someone who likes 90% of the movies he sees, I give this one a 3 of 10.
