If you look at the trailer, it seems that all the somewhat passable CGI was made for the trailer, the effects in the rest of the movie looks unfinished and really awful. It's basically a movie about two people running around in a forest, doing nothing in particular. The guy just stand around with his mouth agape almost the entire friggin movie! The story is just laughable, especially the ending, it's a facepalm moment. It almost counts as a deus ex. On top of that, there's a constant annoying narration. I would imagine that this movie started off as an idea, rather than a solid script, and that the script was made as they went along or something like that. Really amateurish filmmaking.
In any case, it seems like two completely different movies - a special effects part with big explosions, which ranges from passable to horrible, and a long low budget looking middle part consisting mostly of two people running through the woods. I feel that if somehow they had cut back a bit on those effect shots it would've been better, even though it would still be bad. Filmmakers must also learn than constant overlong narration is NOT GOOD, it just ANNOYING.
ps
I was a bit baffled when they approached an obviously European castle ruin, it's just seemed out of place. I suppose it was filmed somewhere in Europe?
