Reflective of a chaotic, idolatrous pop culture, this special effects extravaganza immerses you into a teenybopper video game environment which has overtaken actual reality in a dystopian future with no solid ground in sight. Exhilarating perhaps for an escapist mentality, it quickly loses real-world relevance as it heaps animatronics on the screen ad nauseum, to become, as one reviewer noted, the watching of someone else playing a video game. Even Spielberg couldn't bring a broad appeal to such a weird fantasy which falls unsatisfyingly flat.
