Ok, i know this is a comic book conversion, and I know its not like the best comic either, but it was a free trip with my uncle(who’s up visiting from Leeds) and i wanted to get it out my system.
Well, the special effects are really nice actually, this “new age of man” looks the part, but sadly it never quite feels it. The film tries to copy a few other films like that, mainly being “The Matrix” and “Equilibrium”. It fails though. Where The Matrix had kick ass special effects which were painstakingly made, this has the shiny “look, its the future” special effects, which are really well done, but that isnt what makes a film. Neither does it have the atmosphere of Equilibrium. It tries to take the whole Big Brother thing a bit far.
The fight scenes were good though, well choreographed and filmed. Charlize Theron was quite good, but i think she may have been picked because she is slim and fits in reveling costumes.
Its worth seeing….on DVD. Well, thats maybe slightly harsh, it is more a lads film(sorry ladies).
Cheezy gives it a (drumroll)…..a 6.5 outta 10

PS. Am not chuffed with Cineworld, when seeing the above film, through some of it, a very loud buzzing noise came through the speakers, for no apparent reason, was most unchuffed, and their head office shall be receiving a complaint email.
