A beautifully done homage to a genre of films that I’ve not had much experience with. They went way too heavy on the rose filter in the first two thirds of the film, as it really only gets pretty in the last 20 minutes. I really dig the robot designs, they feel much like The Iron Giant or even Atomic Robo.
This movie’s bad and everyone involved in making it should feel bad.
You clearly have no soul Greenman. 😉
I liked it, I don’t feel bad.
Gwyneth Paltrow plays the worse reporter in history. She is investigating the disappearances of five scientists. She meets a man who says he one of six scientists who worked on a secrete project. She proceeds to ask him who the next scientist will be abducted. She is so dumb that she couldn’t put it together that he was the next scientist that would be abducted.
SO DUMB!!! And that was in the first ten minutes of the movie.
