exactly the concept was great but they rather trivialized it instead of making it food for thought. The architect girl was indeed awful, i think not only because she can't act but also because her character was quite underdeveloped. Towards the end i started to wonder what she was doing there at all... Looks like the whole purpose of her character was to show off some special effects, and to pull the trigger at the end, that's allI found it very good, the concept is great but it could have been shorter indeed. Di Caprio did a decent job this time, but the architect girl was awful. Ken Watanabe did an splendid job, as always.
this particular movie was indeed extremely overrated. Personally i would give it 6.5/10. But i thought that usually the ratings reflected quite well how good a movie is... i haven't looked at top 100 though.Elvina, IMDB is turning very awful lately. On the past I saw the website as a reliable source of rating, but I dunno what happened that there are movies completely overrated - I gave it 8,5/10, 9 is too much. The top 100 is totally biased and full of snobism.
Now i've remembered what else i have seen recently:
Avatar: the Last Airbender
It was rather cool to see an animation story "in real life". I thought it was rather well set, beautiful scenery, costumes and effects and such, but the acting was just plain awful!! I loved how they had done that flying beast though!
The Fourth Kind
with Milla Jovovich. It strucks me how often she plays in bad flicks... And again, the IMDB gives this movie 6.0/10, which is completely off! The movie is quite bad, imo. I'd give it 4/10 at most. It's done in a way to make you believe it's actual real life footage that you see. And all the effects, camera work and production is quite well done and rather believable... It's the story what really makes this movie suck. It's so bland it almost makes you yawn when you are supposed to feel spooked, or at least intrigued. At times it was even laughable. Milla did a good job this time, i think she plays normal people much better than supergirls like in Ultraviolet and such.
