Title: My Compass Points Away from This Movie
Review: I immediately concluded that this movie does not stand alone, apart from clarity that the book probably provides. (After all, something made director and screen play writer Chris Weitz think that this production would be worthwhile.) I never read the book, now I never will.This cinematic catastrophe is loaded with story-line gaps, an endless parade of lifeless characters, and general plotlessness. As a viewing experience, it is only mildly endurable for the special effects. What a cast! But it doesn't help. What a budget! But this movie makes Kevin Kostner's Water World look like a work of genius by comparison for all of the criticism it received in view of its titanic price-tag.I found myself nodding off and the movie made as much sense half awake as it did with my initial full attention. What a cinematic disaster. Anybody got a golden plot compass?
