this bafflingly solemn, lugubrious and fantastically derivative sci-fi which serves up great big undigested lumps of Total Recall, AI, Planet of the Apes – with little snippets of Top Gun.
Bob on.
Sat through it last night thinking “that bit’s outta Star Wars Episodes IV and V, that bit’s outta The Matrix, that bit’s outta Star Trek The Motion Picture, that bit’s outta 2001, that bit’s outta I Am Legend…
Basically the whole film is borrowed ideas from other sic-fi’s and lumped together into a vague and mis-directed plot. I’ve seen it all before. With some bad acting. And some bad dialogue. It kinda got going after an hour (when Morgan Freeman shows up), but then got silly after the next 30 mins and then very silly at the end.
Chewing gum for the eyes. Avoid.
