The performances are generally pretty good, undercut in a few cases by questionable dialogue. It's rousing spectacle and big-budget blockbuster entertainment, but the emotional aspects of the story feel shallower than they should, the inter-species romance at the film's core feeling especially underdeveloped and insincere. The characters aren't quite two-dimensional, but they lack a certain 'spark' - pun intended - that gives competing franchises such vitality. The plot is fine, solidly constructed and thankfully comprehensible, but also highly derivative. It's a really solid summer blockbuster, no question about it. It just feels like it should have been something more." Sounds kinda down for a 4-star review but it guarantees a top 5 spot so I guess I'll take it?

Oh woops lol c/ped the wrong link Nah I'm kidding. Let me put it this way I guess: I think it's abouuuuut as good as Spark Rising and not as good as Homeward. But I graded it on a curve because I was kinda disappointed in the year's slate in general (my own stuff included). So it gets a 4 for being the second-best traditional blockbuster of the year.

Not sure I'd really vote for any of them. Like I said in my review I didn't really find a ton of satisfaction in the emotional elements and I don't think this is much of an "actor's movie." Push comes to shove though I'd say maybe Lennix for the opening scene and Scott because I'm a Power Rangers slut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
