I read 30+ reviews before screening this one and I was ambivalent. I was expecting either very very good or very very bad. Turns out the AVERAGE of the reviews is the best indicator.
The movie is an action flick with sparse dialogue. The sets are excellent, CGI is superb, there are some logic holes: the plot is OK with a nice twist at the end.
What fails is basic Physics: If it's 700 degrees (on ANY scale, Farenheit, Celsius or Kelvin) you are going to cook, EVEN if you are in the shade. Second error (IMHO) flesh usually gives first NOT metal handcuffs. You'll know what I mean when the scene pops up.
Other than this type of problem, it's an interesting take on the Jihad theme. Camera work is so-so: much too jumpy during fight scenes or fast moving ones.
The actors are fine. So-called intellectuals (the ones who keep trying to tell you what's good for you while ignoring their own rules) moaning about poor acting are full of drak. No Oscars here, but hey, they do their roles.
Thandy Newton would look sexier without the Kohl look... She has nice oufits though.
Laughable anachronistic armor on the necromongers
Good SF adventure feature with 'sequel!' written in.
