    I was wondering if anyone else has seen this movie because it is TERRIBLE. Firstly, they advertise that Angelina Jolie is in it, so people will want to go see it. She's only in it for maybe 5 mins tops.

    The movie starts off and it looks like what is the 40's and they have no technology. All of a sudden, these robots fly out of the sky. After that, they goto Nepal and they're using morse code. After the morse code, the main character has a built in high tech radar thing in his WW2 spitfire. The technology continually jumps back and forth. Important pieces of the plot are completely cut out halfway through the movie.

    Anyway, I could go on for hours about the plot holes and terrible plot development, but I won't. Bottom line, don't see this movie if you want to see something good, but go see it if you want to marvel at the horrible faults.

    Anyway, if you've seen it, post your opinions, and horrible bits you loved.

    (I cannot honestly imagine how this got past film editors)

    Edit - By the way, the whole movie is CGI, bad CGI. The money they spent on the effects could have been well put towards something with more potential.

    I thought it looked terrible from the moment I saw the trailer.

    I agree about how Angelina Jolie is only in the movie for so little that it wasn't worth promoting her as she's one of the main characters. But i thought the movie was ok for a change.

    Yeah, I heard it was trash from a number of people, being all the shitty movies that came out this year I probably won't go see anything other than Saw.

    I liked it, and everyone else that saw it with me did as well, it was a campy through back to the old comics of the day, and was not supossed to be anything but a spoof really, and well, it did it quite well, a very good movie indeed, if you go exspecting to see it for what it is.

    It's not the kind of movie I would usually see, so I most likely won't be seeing it. Sorry, Felix!

    ^ Ditto.


    Anyways, I've read some reviews on it, and they said it was a good movie.

    Those reviews you get in the newspaper. Surprisingly enough, when this movie was reviewed, it got an A or something close to that -- which is rare, because those review-ers (gawd what's that word?) usually trash the movies with criticism, criticism aaand ... criticism. And sometimes grade it with a Z-.

    i was going to see it because it has Angelina Jolie in it but if she's in it for like 5 minutes i'm not wasting $13.50 on that!

    If you're looking to see Angelina Jolie licking her right tit for 2 hours, look elsewhere.
