I know, not a surprise considering how it looks on the trailer. But I don't always care about reviews. Films like this can still be brainless fun. And Luc Besson's writing is at least entertaining. I'm almost always up for a fun Sci-Fi/Action yarn.
Looks cheesily bad but it's got the guy that plays Woody from This is England in it as a crazy one-eyed Scotsman so I'll probably see it just for that.
I saw it. I like the premise and writing, and the characters are amusing. But for me the direction and shitty special effects kinda ruined it. Some of the special effects were "Ultraviolet" bad (you know, that awful movie with Milla Jovavich?). Those are the kind of special effects that make you say, "What the f#ck were they thinking??" I enjoyed it for the fun premise, but it should have been so much better. I wish Luc Besson had directed it.
I would say save your money and wait for video or cheap theater (if you have one). You'll probably enjoy it more that way.
Dude, seriously? I mean, it's been a long time since I saw it, but I remember just about everything about it being a complete atrocity (besides Milla's ass, of course). It's up there with the worst movies I've ever seen. It has 9% on RT.
But, yes, I really liked the movie: the story, the special effects, the dialogue, the choreography, the enjoyability, etc. Music wasn't great. Acting was good at times and bad at others.
Well maybe I'll try giving it another chance sometime. I do like Sci-Fi a lot. I do remember it having a sort of interesting premise. I just thought everything else about it was extremely badly done.
Seen this tonight. Went in with low expectations and it's actually not bad. cheesy funny ridiculous. As I expected Joe Gilgun from This is England steals the show. My guess is they got a lot of solid British actors such as Vincent Regan and Lenny James because they're good and cheaper than US actors with the same talent.
