    Looks like the cast

    All gave it a 10 ha ha. Because no one else would.

    How to sum up this wreck of a movie. Lazy writing, The characters are bland archetypes with no depth, unbalanced pacing, and dodgy CGI.

    The action sequences are poorly choreographed.

    Milla Jovovich peaked with 5th Element and has been a good extra in a few movies but she would have been forgotten about long ago if not for her husband putting her in every IP he can get his hands on and butcher.

    Fact is she is not a good actress and has lost the little star power she had in the 90's.

    This is not a movie, it's the final nail in her acting coffin.
