Awesome Movie
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
