What happens when possibly the world's most over rated actor meets one of the world's worst written scripts?
KNOWING. That's what happens. The movie starts with some promise. The best actor in the entire movie is the 9 year old girl right at the beginning of the film with everything else a disappointment. The movie is an attempt at science fiction gone really really bad.
It starts off trying to be a thriller, and fails miserably. The entire movie could have been wrapped up in a 15 minute sketch that my 5 year old cousin can write, cast, act in and direct and possibly do a better job! It then emerges that this movie is intended to be a science fiction. Oh how wrong they were. I have never seen a worst attempt at Sci-Fi! This is a genre that is so specific with such a cultured and specific audience that I would not be able to picture anyone who likes this genre enjoying this poor attempt at a movie. It leaves the audience empty (as was the cinema yesterday which should have given me an idea of how crap this was....there was the 4 of us and 2 other people in the theatre!)....
A message from me to Summit Entertainment: I WANT MY MONEY and TIME BACK!!!!!! Since you're Sci-Fi geniuses, figure out a way to do that!
To everyone else...Don't waste your time....Instead, organize a demonstration somewhere demanding that Alex Proyas (Director), Ryne Douglas Pearson and Juliet Snowden (Writers) NOT be allowed to go anywhere near Sci-Fi again!
The only bright spot is that there is no attempt (not even a disguised one) at forcing romance into the story. Although I did get a scare at one point!
*wiping the tears off my face!*
