Do not believe any rating above 2

I was forewarned so I cannot cry foul, tried to watch it anyway because of the great cast. Unbelievable, they somehow must be obliged to the writer?director?

Painful to watch, I ended fast forwarding the last 45 minutes just to reach the idiotic conclusion, and that just because I'm a sucker for sci-fi.

Acting is ridiculously bad, coming from a cast that usually performs very finely. Some of the carboard acting and hollow dialogs cannot be attributed solely to inept direction and a lousy script. It's like they did it on purpose --perhaps their arms were twisted to participate and they were paying old favors to somebebody?

Direction and edition is beyond nonexistant.

Don't be lured into watching it. You will regret it!

PS, I had labeled it a 2, because of some redeeming photography, CGI and beautiful locations but the bloated scores above that point must be counterweighted, the current 2.8 average is1/higher than it deserves (1.5?)

SO MANY GREAT STARS

Never have so many great actors been so betrayed as by this insipid, plotless movie.

This film should carry a government health warning about how bad (for you) it is!

This film just doesn't make sense. The dialogue, when not inaudible due to the musical score making unheard, is just nonsense. Coupling terrible directing and odious scripts means that I really could not make any sense of what characters were feeling.

For example, character voices cry out top volume in fear as soon as another new character enters focus despite being unknown to the protagonist and seconds before launching into a terribly choreographed fight scene.

Most of the actors are examples of once great actors who now are too tired to give a good interpretation of the script. No surprise to see the terribly depressing form of Michael Madsen there. I expected to see him with another washed-up actor of Tim Sizemore, but he manages to butcher the scenes enough on his own.

Another reviewer wrote about how this film is like nails down a blackboard. I think this is an apt description of scenes that jump around like some Junior film student's project made using home video segments rather than having a set and crew along with others who should have pulled together the show into some kind of discernible storyline or plot. Instead this film is honestly one of the worst ones I have ever seen.

If you want more evidence for how bad this film is, then consider this. My friends are all avid movie watchers. We've all sat through some turkeys in our time, but this was the first film we have ever watched that caused several caffeinated and sugar-high adults to fall asleep during watching it. We've NEVER done that before or since this movie.
