657821, A simple, stupid movie with a huge budget Posted by SoulHonky, Sat Aug-10-13 12:54 AM
This was a bad sci-fi script trying to make simplistic points but it looked amazing and had some cool weapons.
My biggest gripe is that they made they made the villains SO evil. Jodie Foster was trying for a coup and like blowing people up. Sharlto Copley was a mad rapist. It was like they took the extreme ideas of what Americans are (rich people who are divorced from caring at all about others and poor people who don't want a job and even make fun of people who have to go to work for a living).
Beyond that, the film was just stupid. It had some of the most cliched dialogue I've heard in quite some time. The characters were all one-dimensional.
It looked good though. I'll give it that.
