This movie was trying to supposedly make a simple point. It had lots of action that never really related well to carrying the story. It had lots of Asian actors and the only reason I can see it getting 11 Academy Award Nominations was to try to play to equal opportunity after Hollywood's blatant and recent failures.

The cinematography was good and effects good so that can get it several valid nominations (but not likely awards) but it clearly is another over-hyped Hollywood promotion. I would never again come close to this movie even on late night horrible cable and drunk out of my mind. I sat thru it in the theater just to see if anything decent came up and it did not. I will be sure to tell my friends and family.
