wanted to love it.....but....

Went to see this in ScreenX, but that really didn't offer anything extra, except that it made the movie just more expensive. It's also offered in MX4D, and that's probably why this movie has a problem. it seems to be made for 4D, because of the acting and editing. Through the entire movie there are scenes that build up to the action that would be enhanced by 4D. so basically it feels like it's made to let you experience 4D But then there's the cgi and that's where the movie really misses the mark. young Will Smith often doesn't look like young Will Smith, but like a bad computer animated person, that lipsyncs with the dialogue just a fraction too late. His lips don't move naturally, the eyes are wider than they should be, tears in his eyes look fake and the acting is slightly too slow, probably to make it possible to make Will Smith look that much younger.

I have to say, the movie, no matter how unrealistic the plot is and how often there are wtf moments, still is pretty enjoyable. It sometimes felt like a James Bond movie, American Style (over the top, bigger than big). I had a good time, just wouldn't do ScreenX again and think the movie could have been much better if the editing and special effects were better.
