The target audience for this is clearly the popcorn eating masses, and at that level it succeeds flawlessly. It's fast and shiny, and very easily digestible. There is plenty of action and floating camera shots, with fancy lens flares.

There are no surprises, and without spoiling anything, obviously movies like this (like the prestige) will always have some plot twists, but only at the most superficial level, and with no real consequences to the overall story. (where as the plot twist in the prestige was brilliant).

Don't let the "high rating" fool you. This movie is not worth your time. I was debating with me friend if we should watch this or re-watch iron man 3, and I wish I had gone for Iron Man 3... (I had seen it before, he had not).

Skip this one.
