OH good GOD, they also gave The Time Traveller's Wife a 3.5, so...

Will review it after.
100 minutes? Try 180 minutes. All in all, it was entertaining, really good special effects. But certainly wasn't the best movie ever made. I give it 6.5/10.

Verdict = MOST RIDICULOUS MOVIE EVER MADE! :stongue:
....and I recommend it to everyone. Yes, the scenes in it are so over the top and unbelievable that they have to be seen.
The special effects are absolutely fantastic. So much so, that I'm probably going to go see it at the IMAX a second time just for the visuals.
The story is as clichéd as anything but entertaining nonetheless.
The movie is once again, ridiculous but well worth the money. Go see it!

Not enough awesomely over the top CGI to make up for the horribly cliche/cheezy dialogue that took up 3/4 of the movie. 5/10.

Nah 3.5 a piece. I think they're getting a bit softer in their old age.. david's lightened up a bit and likes his boyish movies, margaret is starting to like animation. Though I don't think dave will ever go for dogma or anything involving hand-held cameras.

By the way, I was reading the subtitles when he said this, so I'm not sure if they translated something wrong: Did doctor Helmsljev (or whatever his name was :p) really read 2000 books in high school? Or did he read all these books until he finished high school? Hell, I'm about to close this year having read 50 books, and I can pretty much say it's virtually impossible to read more than 500 if you've got a life :p
Edit: I mean, yeah, I know the film is not exactly realistic but, bloody hell! 2000 books in 3 years!? I don't even care about the rest, this is what shocked me the most!

i hate john cusack for taking the part in this movie. i love him and he can do so much better:[

the CG, the russians, and Woody Harrelson were full of win in this movie
everything else sucked, but i guess that was the point
