A pretty dull movie that has an un-engaging mystery at it's core, done by people who obviously never played a videogame in their life.
Everything here is window dressing beginning with the 10. 000 cameos of franchise characters, the half-baked love story, an ending that resembles E. T., or the useless references of movies like The Shining (which has nothing to do with videogames but who cares).
Another thing that really stood out is when the love interest says she's ugly in real life and of course they cast a beautiful actress in the role and give her an oversized mole. It's the typical milquetoast approach of Hollywood movies.
If there ever is a coloumn about "Spielberg's worst movies", this and Bridge of spies are definitely in it.
