It's a fun film which is great late-evening popcorn entertainment with a strong narrative and the calming pressence of scren icons Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine as well as the younger upstart Jesse Eisenberg.
Already it had my attention as with that kind of cast you reallly can't do much wrong (unless all cameos!). I was not disappointed.
However it was quite structured and the hints in previous displays showed the later aspects before they happened. It was obvious with some things and the 3d visuals at the final was so obvious.
I did enjoy the concept and the dialogue was excellent. I liked the screenplay and the acting was great it just did not do enough for me as a movie. Louis Leterrier did a sound job directing as well as the cinematography crew of Larry Fong and Mitchell Amundsen with loads of John Woo-style freeze 'super-slow motion' frames.
It's a great film to watch to crash to but the budget is mad and the concept is just a bit too much to be honest as it's unrealistic. I'm not a fan of some of the CGI used as well. However the acting is stunning and the dialogue just does the job! A strong 7!
