Mysteryously mysterious low rating


It's beyond me and beyond all of my friends and family that such a fine apocalyptic action film has only rating of 5. It delivered!!

Also Vin Disel fine, lingering and heartfelt acting deserves a nod not only from the Academy morons.

I gave the movie 1 out of 10 for its ridiculous anti-Christian propaganda.

It's a decent film, but nothing to be remembered. I give it 6/10. I would like to see the uncut version some day, though.

It's not mysterious... It's ridiculous.

I rated this movie a 10.

Not a bad idea for a movie, but suffering wretchedly from poor direction, acting and action sequences. Most definitely, a B-movie and not a good one, 4 from me and that's generous. At least Michelle Yeoh can act and perform great martial arts (though not in this movie...and that about sums it up!)

it,s a great science fiction movie and vin diesel is great in this movie

reply

Diesel falls into category of actors who are EXACTLY the same in every movie. In Vin's case 'he's the drawling tough man that you don't mess with'. He has limited star appeal, B-movie appeal. The story was OK, just found the movie chaotic and full of cardboard characters lacking any depth. Comic-strip style this sci-fi movie may have been, but the actors should embue their characters with something more than cartoon-like performances, honourable exceptions go to Melanie Thierry, Lambert Wilson (and the two cute kids at the end).

thank u. what are these guy thinking?
I realy wonder what they expect out of a movie?

reply

I agree with you bole79. I gave it 9/10 due to reasons I have mentioned in my separate post here in the board.
Anyhow it doesn't deserve less than 7/10 anyway.
