..while that premise isn't new, its hilarious how simplistic this film's approach to rebellion was.

no need to tear this film apart for poor execution regarding the script, direction, etc., since its apparently accepted behavior from a summer blockbuster. even with that understanding, everyone in this cast was wasted.

foster
damon
braga

it was damn-near painful to watch foster phone it in for this. damon gave his usual "but i'm smarter than you, so i don't really give a fuck" schtick and he had absolutely NO chemistry with braga. the visuals were fine, but the power ranger/go-bot droids were corny.

this really feels like the year of the repeat offenders (olympus has fallen, white house down, oblivion, elysium, etc.).

putting all criticism aside, i still walked away with one question:


if all you needed was a simple reboot, why wouldn't carlyle (fichtner) simply place himself in charge?
