was entertaining throughout its whole length, but agree that the story was a bit lacking... the main character in particular.. he knew what he was doing the whole time - never had to make any tough decisions. although he switched teams, he had no inner struggle whatsoever, just did what any decent natured person would do as info was revealed to him, and tried to keep his blue gf from being pissed at him. |
he didn't have any inner struggle because he didn't have anything to lose by switching teams - no legs, dead brother, etc etc

uuuh how was that useless? did you listen when she was explaining that the "bird" will try to kill him so he had to fight it, tame it, in order to bond with it? lol did you expect him to jump on top of it, BANG! off he goes?

well, if they wanted "jakesully" to be mentioned in the same breath as neo, luke skywalker etc. they could have written him differently.. this guy was just forgettable overall imo which isn't great for a potential sci-fi franchise.

not going to get into the specific details of my example, but there were a lot of action scenes that were redundant and seem like they were just jammed in for the wow factor. just one unbelievable scene at 100mph and then another one that outdoes it, with hardly any emotion or meaningful dialogue going on between the characters. not that any of this is surprising for today's action/scifi films, but still disappointing as we know cameron doesn't need that crutch to make a good movie
