While there are definitely some entertaining moments and it's performing well so far at the foreign box office, the
film lacks in most areas and only offers mild appeal for
serious CGI action
enthusiasts.
In 2002, a group of Seattle
film professionals,
enthusiasts, teachers, and critics formed Parallax View, a small
film society whose goal was to champion the cause of
film literacy, foster public discussion of the place of movies in society, and promote the
serious, sometimes delirious cause of
film as art.
