Where do I start?
I love Mila Kunis. I love Sci-Fi. I love special effects. I loved the plot line. I have a man-crush on Channing Tatum and Sean Bean (although his name makes me laugh).
So why did I not love the movie?
First let me say that it gets 5 stars out of 10 (5/10).
I think all the special effects ruined it for me. I found myself not really understanding what was going on during these prolonged fight scenes or space ship battle scenes. There was one in particular that seemed to last forever where the baddies were coming after Kunis and Tatum in Chicago via flying machines. I kept thinking to myself-"I really cannot tell who is the good guys and who are the bad guys and how it is going". Not a good sign in the middle of the movie.
Another distracting element seemed to be the fact that there were several instances where Tatum just had to break through some defense to rescue Kunis. The first time-cool, second time-oh, third time-boring.
Maybe it was because I saw it on a DVD rental and now IMAX.
Oh well....
