I went into this movie knowing next to nothing about the story line. I heard mixed reviews about it, so I can say that I was unbiased going in. What could have been a really good movie ended up being slightly more than mediocre. The special effects were great, but I firmly believe that no one should judge a movie solely on special effects, like so many do. The main problem with this movie was that they tried to fit in too much. Instead of there being holes left in the plot, they left out a lot of detail (I hesitate to call them "holes"). Things just happened -- they were at one place and then they were at another. I also think that there was a little bit too much of a hippie element towards the end as well (but that could just be me). Conclusion: If you have nothing better to do, consider going to see this movie. Otherwise, it will be a good rent in a few months. It is entertaining, emotional, but lacks in detail and character development. |
