Sky Force 3D (2012)
Unbelievably Bad
I didn't expect much from this movie. It is a cheap knock-off of Planes after-all. The summary read like some 'Thunder-birds Team' movie. Alas no. The film is a scattered mess.
Actually I found the planes and robots to be kinda creepy. Characters are introduced that do not move the story. The main character Ace makes you dislike him. yes characters have to be simple in animations. Especially something for kids. They can be done well however. Look at Shrek and Lightning McQueen. The toys from Toy Story. Simple characters that kids and adults like. The main characters here give you nothing to like about them. The dialog is cringe inducing and the action non existent. The animation isn't cute or entertaining either.
A boring movie written very poorly is all this turns out to be.
Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012)
So Many Bad Decisions
This movie isn't Universal Soldier. **SPOILER ALERT** First thing I cannot stress strong enough. THERE ARE TWO STROBE LIGHT FLASHING SCENES THAT LAST ONE MINUTE EACH. I don't suffer seizures but my wife does. BE WARNED Now that thats out of the way... This is about cloning. The hero is a clone and doesn't know it (YAWN). He was never a Uni-Sol. In-fact the only tie-in is that one of the doctors worked the Uni-sol project. If you are like me, one of the first questions you ask is, "Wait! didn't Lundgren die in the last one? And wasn't JCVD a good guy?". I expected they would explain how things came to be. NOPE. All you get are 30 second glimpses of them through out the movie. When they do have screen time there's no explanation. the just try to kill the hero. Where were they when the hero surrendered? IF he's the key to their plans why wouldn't they be at the front door when he arrives?
This part got me the most. The hero beats a man to death. He does this in a sporting goods store in-front of 6 witnesses. He then stops a passing car and takes it. He then drives away, only to pull into a gas station. To which most people are thinking, wouldn't the police be looking for the car by now? To top it off he gives the keys to his female companion and sends her on her way. We see her light a cigarette and drive off. I assume into the arms of state troopers looking for a murderous car-jacker and his moll.
And another thing. Why are Lundgren and JCVD OK with the soldiers killing each other?
There's more but I think this is enough. All-in-All, don't waste you time with this.
