Just watched this on the off chance that it would be good, given that I have enjoyed Jim Cavielzel in previous films, and it inspired me to write my first ever review. I can really get into these movies, loved reign of fire, lord of the rings etc. This film does not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath.
The sheer implausibility of the script beggars belief, completely destroying any chance to suspend disbelief. Considering the calibre of the actors involved (Hurt, Cavielzel) the acting jars and situations arise that they respond to in amazing and implausible ways. There must be at least 50 events in this film that the characters respond to in ways that could not and would never happen.
My advice to anyone considering watching this 2 hour plus ramshackle, cobbled together, random, sci fi, meaningless, redundant, boring, display of film autism, would be to stay at home and watch reign of fire again, or just sit and watch the walls. It's cheaper and more fun.
