While any connoisseur of film will undoubtedly enjoy this eye candy smörgåsbord, the story telling (while creative and fresh) is lost amidst the vacant, spoon-fed, slack-jawed, no-brainery perpetrated upon the audience. The production style and camera work, digital effects, and ... well, eye candy is something to be beheld, however, there is something missing in the overall quality of the combined elements of the work. I can't say what that something is at the moment, but if it occurs to me, I'll be sure to edit this "comment." Some will say that this is the cutting edge of filmography, of filming style, of camera and production quality, and I'm afraid they may be right. But as a fan of cinema on the whole, I cannot say that I subscribe to the actual worth of these techniques, much less their necessity in the business.
Oh yes, sure, the performances were A-list and the screenplay was A-quality, but this film is not about those elements of the process, as much as it is about the process itself. Does it entertain? The kids will like it. But it's just too wrapped around commerce for my tastes.
It rates a 3.4/10 from...
