I went into this movie with low expectations. I really did not think this movie would live up to my personal expectations... Nicolas Cage films in general do not live up to my expectations... usually. On the contrary, this movie was far better than I expected! The action sequences were filmed well, the acting was decent, the special effects were reasonably well done, and the writing was decent. Overall, I think this movie is a winner.
I really think that Alex Proyas at the helm saved this movie from utter disaster. He is a very good director and I respect him deeply for his work. I believe he was the driving force behind the greatness of this movie. After seeing "I,Robot," I was deeply intrigued by the fact that he had a new movie coming out.
I'll admit, I really enjoyed watching this movie, and if you're someone who is looking for some good, mindless movie-viewing, then I strongly suggest this movie. If you keep an open mind and just ignore the imperfections, this is a satisfying film.
8/10
