This is going to be an unpopular review, I know. Maybe I was in the wrong mood coming into this movie, but I turned it off after 25 minutes, couldn't stand it anymore. The whole premise of American white males are constant war-mongers and do not understand progress. If you are an African American you *might* be ok, it helps if you are hurt or imperfect in some other way, if you are a minority then you should be protected and saved, etc etc.
The story as a whole makes little sense and it is remains incoherent with empty dialogues and mediocre acting. Why bombs, why the war, it is not explained and when those questions are asked they reply is some sort of a joke, such as "they are here for our jobs". Also not explained why would someone remove his prosthetic arm before going to the pool but not his leg. Whatever.
The only redeemable quality for this movie is the production value and the almost next-gen gaming-like scenario and photography. I guess if you can ignore everything else, and just look at the imagery you might enjoy it. I personally needed a little more, or actually quite a lot more.
This is another polarizing creation. I fell on the "don't like it" side, two thumbs down for me. Looks like writers were on strike but CGI was on sale. Exact score: 44 / 100.
