Negative Positive
Title: Turn Brain Off and Be Entertained
Review: ** SPOILER ALERT **While I enjoyed the Blu-Ray Fx experience, I'll have to agree with other reviewers who attempted to apply any kind of logical thought in understanding the premise and outcome of the movie. For example, if the aliens had this voodoo Science capability to permanently 'turn off' technology world-wide, why all the preliminary drama with the threatened genocide. As for the casting, Keanu Reeves took wooden acting to a new level, Jaden Smith is an excruciatingly untalented child actor; obviously the beneficiary of Nepotism, and all the characters wearing a uniform were straight out of a bad saturday morning cartoon. The only cast member who didn't phone it in was Kathy Bates as she singularly avoided being a ridiculous caricature. Aside from all the negativity, the Fx and pacing was sufficient to move it out of the dud category but just barely.
Is the review positive or negative?
