Such a cringy movie but definitely some laughs. I don’t really get Albar’s whole character though.
The sonar technology they describe used to map the ocean floors in the triangle is cool, but they literally solve no mysteries. They find other ships or wreckage and you do get some insight into why there are so many wrecks, but that is about it.
The acting was great, but the writing was absolutely horrendous. You couldn't really get behind any of the characters besides "Boz" played by Elizabeth Banks (and even only slightly so).
I wanted this to be good, but it just falls flat.
Could have been so much better.
It's really not that bad. It's a little loose with the plot.. but overall production isn't bed and has good pacing. I think the ending sets it up nicely for a sequel.
This was a decent, watchable science fiction flick. It had a decent dystopian, apocalyptic-type plot where the world was on the brink of total annihilation only to be saved by a corporate entity with some magical new technology. The corporation, of course, ends up only caring about the money and screwing people over in the process, causing people, or a person in this case, to rise up and change things. The movie has good pacing; Tom Sizemore, Sarah Habel, and Domic Monaghan offer great performances. It takes you for a bit of a ride in the transition from the second to third act with a couple twists and turn that you may not see coming. In conclusion, a solid B, straight to DVD sci-fi movie. Worth watching if you are looking for something in the genre and are fans of Sizemore, Monaghan, or Habel.
I watched the movie first, then read the book, then re-watched the movie. I thought the movie, upon first watch, was okay but disconnected. After re-watching it became worse, much worse. It is much more disconnected from the book. At first, the movie follows the book somewhat close, but then it just diverts completely in the 3rd act, which in which the screen writers did a really poor job of adapting; the book was written much more cleanly.
The movie also doesn't allow you to connect to any characters other than Cassi, which is sad, because the book does a much better job of describing the relationship Ben and his team have while training before they are sent off, and also about Cassi and Evan's relationship. It's cut off or shortened a lot in the movie.
Full of scenes by B-list and well-known actors. The plot is pretty generic: investigator goes around causing more and more trouble as he goes from one scene to the next, when ultimately it all works out at the end.
THE DOG DOESN'T DIE! :D
Starts off strong! Can't believe I could laugh so hard about abortions and beheadings in the same thought.
I really regret paying money to see this movie. It had some good undertones of the current racial/political climate in the USA (which will make this movie not bode well in time), but very lacking and not really funny other than that. What you saw in the trailer was basically the funniest parts, and super misleading.

Trailer is done very well, but I can't stop thinking: "What the hell is this about?"
Definitely action-packed, so if you liked the first one you'll definitely like this one. Plot is very predictable though.
Average movie, but the best part is the ending 10 minute scenes for sure. Had to bump it up a star just for that alone.
This movie starts out strong but about 45 minutes in falls flat. The dialog between the Kray brothers (Hardy and himself) is the best, but at a certain point, you just start asking yourself, "what's the point? Where is this going?" Then it falls into a typical "my beloved committed suicide for what I have become" cliché.
Pretty bad plot, but I couldn't stop laughing.
First 75% of the movie is great. Hilarious. The last bit goes off the rails and have no idea what is happening or what it has to do with the main plot.
A bit outlandish, but entertaining. Samuel L. Jackson is always great.
This film has some great acting and some familiar faces. I was entertained the whole way through, but it will not serve as a lasting memory for me. It does, however, show some of the stresses put on career focused women that provides an interesting plot.
Interesting to see the progression of characters, and see the different storylines. Unfortunately, I didn't really get much out of the movie. I don't really understand what it was trying to portray and it only slightly connected the storylines at the end.
Well that was....interesting. Good movie to watch with your significant other.
I made it all the way through the movie, and I was interested the whole way through too. I'm not sure why people think this movie is that bad, it's really not. It's clearly not the best movie ever, but it's interesting to watch and you'll probably enjoy watching it and have some laughs too.
I sum it up to basically this: hot bitches; crazy bitches; keanu trying to show emotion.
The first morning set the stage for the rest of the series. I think this morning was the middle in the way to the "finale." They needed to use this movie, although not as great as the first, to get some things settled, get their following, and then come back stronger to fight off WICKED the right way. The last 2 movies should be great.
I would say this is a little out of the normal of most Sandler movies. It was funny, interesting, and a good watch overall. It kept me interested all the way through and I thought the plot was pretty good. Dustin Hoffman was also great to see.
A story about a boy facing a world where he must save his family's business. The way to do that, a great dog race from Winnipeg to St. Paul. Movie was an easy watch, but not much holding you there. You know from the start who's going to win the race, but it's more about 'how' he wins it. Acting is great from all parties involved.
Fun movie to watch and make you really think on how time travel works and the horrific consequences that could happen because of it.
Move starts out great, but has some quarks along the way. When the movie ended, it left me with a sense of awesomeness but also wanting more. Throughout the movie you are presented with many depictions of what's to come, but many lead you astray. In the end, the movie is a great "what if" scenario about life and if it really exists outside of our own solar system, but you are left with too many questions about the story at hand.
I don't know where all the hate is coming from. This movie accomplished what it set out to do: be a light-hearted, family movie filled with some fun and jokes. It wasn't meant to be serious. So for that, I think it did what it needed and it made me laugh throughout. Now, the plot was pretty weak and the "heists" were kind of over the top simplified to the extent of it being implausible.
I don't think people realize this is a rip-off of 'San Andreas' with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in it...
Some awe-inspiring moments and real "what ifs" but it ultimately fell a little short of being a great movie. The visuals in this movie are masterful and amazing, but couldn't quite help out the rest of the film.
Give this movie a chance! If you are into humor that is "right in your face" and is more thought-provoking, then this is for you. The humor is witty and keeps you going throughout the entire thing. The storyline isn't bad either.
