I had quite an outstanding and unique experience watching this film, something happened that I've never experienced before in a movie theatre:
Objectively, this movie is bad. The script is incredibly weak, the plot is full of clichés and can be summed up in several sentences, character development (if existent) is totally predictable and one-dimensional, and the characters are all genuine stereotypes - there are absolutely no "normal" people in this movie, every single person/robot that inhabits the world is a silly caricature of some kind. The number of bad things in this movie is beyond measure................except that I didn't notice a single one at all (!!!!) until later, when my friend and I went to grab a beer and pondered about the film a little...
Yup....that's it. When you make yourself comfortable in your cinema chair, the lights go out and this whirlwind of a movie starts, it's something entirely different. Slowly, all of my senses became overwhelmed in a manner that my brain obviously decided to completely ignore every single thing that I look for in a (good) film in favor of pure fun. With my higher functions disabled like that, I just stared at the screen with my eyes almost out of their sockets and my lower jaw on the floor, and absolutely didn't notice the stupidity of some characters, plot holes and clichés, just incredibly enjoying this outstanding feast for my senses. Incredible, just incredible...
With all the advancements in CGI, sound editing and cinema technology overall, I believe this film is (sadly or not?)the prototype for the future of cinema entertainment, where all the things that should make a good quality movie (like intellectual weight) will be dropped in favor of stimulating your most primitive senses to the n-th degree and pure entertainment value that goes straight up through the roof, a concept which is slowly developing in an art form of its own. Because of that, this is (all its numerous and gigantic flaws if you judge it as a "film" included) an absolutely amazing movie. If you're into some pure fun, go watch it. Now.
IMDB Rating - 6.8/10
