This movie is herrendous in all the right ways, but man did i love it.

One poorly made flick that even contains a high school bully played by a 27 year old actor. Genius.

And I mean what a story! A dude that gets to shoot food out of his body and becomes popular and then hates it. Wow. Captivating beautiful.

Overall this film was a fun adventure film. Plot similar to Divergent and Hunger Games. Where the insignificant girl discovers her hidden power and chooses to overthrow the system and tyrannical hierarchy. And a pretty close story to Astro Boy. Where a boy robot with the mind of a human discovers life below the floating city etc etc etc. Visual Effects were some of the best in the business. Making the fighting sequences and the flow of robotics look enthralling and natural. It was clear there was a huge focus on making this LOOK fantastic. Acting was not so pleasant. The main love interest had the look but not the talent to pull of his role. Jennifer Connolly is a great actress, but not in this. Her emotionless delivery was hard to swallow. No matter what is happening, be it tragedy or sadness, she kept the same facial expression. Unmoved by the events that affect her. Most of the other actors were making me cringe. I reckon if given the right dialogue these actors would of flourished. Which brings me to another negative. The dialogue. Cheesy, predictable and boring dribble. And yet the script wasn't all rubbish. The gold planning of the script was splattered with sh** dialogue. The plot was one that kept you entertained and caused a considerable amount of enjoyment. Some points were predictable but not enough to make me hit myself in the face.

The visual effects carried this film that is for certain.
