Disappointing
29 February 2008
What a disappointment. This idea of teleporting or translocation for a movie has been around a long time and could have looked at the immense ramifications, consequences, insights the use of a power like this might have. In short, it could have examined the benefits and spiritual dimensions and possibilities of our Universe. In fact, it addressed none of these things. There was no story, no explanations,no identification with anybody, (except Millie) and no arc. Who these people were was never explained, why they were being chased and hunted wasn't either other than the fact these advanced beings who could be anywhere whenever they chose to be had the social enlightenment and humanity of a flea. So if they weren't gods, demons...what were they? Could a mother act as coldly as his did? Very bad storyline, a cascade of cgi and an argument between two guys that was thrown in for no purpose. Certainly a picture for the computer game players but a most uninspiring story. Hayden is cute though.
