This was so terrible...


This movie was pretty bad, but somehow I couldn't stop watching. I'm just glad I didn't pay to see it.

I'm glad I payed to watch this excellent film.

reply

Hahaha it was garbage, you need your head fixed if you think this is a excellent movie.

"Paid" not "payed."

Keep it civil. It's not that important.

reply

lol me too. Pretty much just yelled at the TV the whole time laughing my ass off too saying "trope" every 2 seconds.

reply

You mean pirate. I also did not pay to see this garbage. Regretfully watched it on a flight.

reply

I paid for the blu ray and I'm glad. Movie is awesome and I will watch multiple times.

One of the most terrible movies I have ever seen (entertaining CGI aside). I loved how they progressively found a reason to show off more of what's her name's boobs, and then find a way to get them wet. I kept hoping one of the main characters would die, but my prayers were not answered.
I also kept watching, if only to laugh when trying to guess The Rock's next line.
I also enjoyed all the shrieks of women in the background of every scene - like a flock of seagulls was flying somewhere nearby the mic.

hahaha. Terrible.

reply

Yah because no one would scream in those situations. LOL
You're a clown.
It's a movie. It's hollywood. Go watch Fast and Furious or Transformers.

reply

LMFAO!! Fast and Furious is better then this pile of garbage!

reply

So in other words you were masturbating the entire time.

Name calling does not change the fact that previous bad summer movies are not a defense for more bad summer movies. Ridley Scott did a great job with The Martian. We can ask for better films. This is not unattainable.

Movie is full of cheese but also extremely funny. Was hoping it will not be like 2012 when it comes to cheese level. It was fun all around. Destruction and funny deaths can't beat that.

reply

No, no... I didn't steal. A friend lent me the dvd. I'm still mad at them... LOL

It was pretty bad.

The acting was ok, and the CGI was stunning. But the plot and script were just painfully bad.

 Live long and prosper.

It was pretty bad.

Agreed

The acting was ok

Agreed

The CGI was stunning.

YOU got to be kidding me.
Even though I only watched it via cheap Redbox when nothing else better was available and I expected a cheese fest... I almost shut it off at the first rescue specifically because of the poor CGI effects.

Oh they LOOKED... Visually, good.

But their use was utter crap.

That car tumbling off the cliff in the beginning was laughable. a cartoonish joke. Roadrunner Physics. That Hat tip trick to get under the cliff... utterly stupid in real life and did not even remotely look real as executed by CGI. Most all of the Helo scenes were cartoonish physics.

Most of the building collapses were utterly ridiculous and unrealistic.

There are two parts to making realistic and convincing CGI
1) Visual look of the objects themselves
2) Their behavior within the visual world.

Most "hollywood" Directors Fail Every. Single. Time... on that second part.
If it's something Magical, fantastical, or advanced Sci-Fi tech, you can get away with violating the second part so long as they behave within the boundaries set by the story.

But when set in the supposed "real World" they have to behave according to real world physics or the illusion fails and it just looks FAKE AS *beep*
As it does in this film.

But the plot and script were just painfully bad.

Agreed, but not the worst I've seen

I dunno CG; These Special Effects were pretty amazing:

Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?

reply

Yeah but those fall under Practical Special Effects, Not CGI Special Effects.
They actually Exist, You can touch them.

Well... maybe not YOU...

Yeah, they're 'special' practical effects.
