Stupid plot aside the visual effects were amazing. With the exception of Sam Worthington all the acting was superb to (Several times his aussie accent bled through and took me out of it).
The "War on terror" allegory became very tiresome as well. I get it Jimbo, you don't like the way good ol W did things out East. Hey here's an idea, why don't you take a que from your ex wife (Kathryn Bigelow) and actual do a movie on the middle east (Hurt Locker)?
The big problem I have with the film is they spent a lot of time and money on the effects. And they rock, man seeing it in 3d is an experience. But the plot is so lack luster. At no point will you not know what to expect. You see every thing coming a mile away.
Just seems like with a little more work on the script they could have had something really amazing.
I will spare you a rant on the concept of the Uncanny Valley (for now) and how it didn't help things either.
Until later I got some fine Polish Vodka to get to,
Your Hero,
