Remarks: Dean: Storyline predictable, cinematography was good. Nonstop action, was amazed when it was over that 2 1/2 hours had passed. Definitely worth watching.

Lyn: On the one hand, if you are viewing for sheer entertainment value you definitely won't be disappointed. On Blu-ray the digital effects look absolutely amazing, and there are tons of them!

On the other hand, twisted conspiracy theories are somewhat cliche but the movie does a good job downplaying that aspect - it is explained then they move on to more action action action! I've watched it at least 3 times since I bought it.
