OK, the special effects in this movie were incredible at times. However, they could not make up for the poor acting, poor writing ("Dorothy...were not in Kansas anymore...")and overdone characters. My friend and I left before it was over, not able to stomach it anymore. The concept of altered realty/art. intelligence was thought provoking, but the movie was "ruined" by the silly, overdone characters and bland script. What is up with the goofy sunglassess? Why can't these humans, who supposedly have incredible technology and intelligence, at least illuminate/properly light their environment? Why is everything so dank and gloomy? Finally, we found the secondary line of characters to be downright annoying and cartoon-like. If you love special effects, go see this movie. If not, I wouldn't bother.
