What was that, like 90 minutes? Pfffttt.
2. Lousy special effects.
You could really tell which ones were CGI. Yeah I know they used James Cameron's camera (Cameron's camera?), but they should've also used Cameron's special effects.
3. Not a stand-alone film.
Okay, I understand it's part of a God-knows-how-long series. But still, having a series with stand-alone episodes shows how much care has been put into writing the screenplays.
4. No sex.
Well, it's not really a big deal. But still...you can't put Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter in the same movie and not have any sex. That would be a total waste.
5. Wentworth Miller's voice.
As hammy as Bruce Wayne's. And he's grown fat.
6. Left me hanging.
I don't like it when I'm left hanging. Very few movies can leave me hanging and get away with it. And this movie isn't one of them.
And now we move on to the 3D review...
Using Cameron's camera doesn't guarantee a good 3D film. Even Avatar had its lapses, especially cinematographically (spell-checker has just informed me that "cinematographically" is not a word). That is to be understood, of course, since this is a relatively new medium. But still, I hope 3D cinematographers try to understand and apply the principle of depth of field.
